Here is a new conference report from the Wallace Foundation on Social Emotional Learning as it is applied to Out of School Time learning. The report (SEL+OST=PERFECT) examines how to develop adults’ skills at nurturing children’s social-emotional development and how to convey the importance of SEL skills to others.
After school, summer and other out-of-school-time programs, such as those that Carver provides year-round, can be ideal settings for children to learn and build social and emotional well-being—when skilled and trusted adults are there to guide them, according to this conference report.
