Produktbeschreibung
Despite growing attention to the importance of grit and other character traits for achievement, developing such qualities rarely figures in secondary school curricula. Based on extensive interviews and on-site visits, Belonging and Becoming tells the stories of five high schools with a national reputation for infusing rigorous academics with social and emotional learning and the demonstrable benefits that result for students. "When educators ask me for practical advice about how to enhance the social, emotional, and academic development of high school students, I will urge them to read, discuss, and implement powerful strategies from this book. Belonging and Becoming is a game-changer that can improve the educational experiences, learning, and development of millions of high school students." --Roger P. Weissberg, chief knowledge officer, Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) "In this engaging new book, Barbara Cervone and Kathleen Cushman capture five compelling cases, teaching us that thoughtful, purposeful integration of social and emotional learning combined with rigorous project-based learning results in high levels of academic achievement, strong attendance, low dropout rates, and a high percentage of students going to college." --Ellen Moir, founder and CEO, New Teacher Center "Barbara Cervone and Kathleen Cushman have wonderfully captured the essentials needed for high schools to focus on both academic growth and healthy social development. Their work will lead to educating all high school students to be able to respond to the challenges and opportunities they routinely face through intentional efforts on academic, social, and emotional learning." --Paul Goren, superintendent, Evanston/Skokie District 65, Illinois, and former senior vice president, CASEL Barbara Cervone has championed high school reform for more than four decades as a researcher, writer, school and program designer, and national grant maker. Kathleen Cushman is a journalist and educator who since 1989 has documented the learning of adolescents in and out of school.
