[quote=Anonymous]Everything in education, and particularly urban education, is cyclical. A heavy focus on attending to the needs of the whole child and social-emotional learning is not new. However, after 20+ years of high-stakes accountability and testing ad nauseam, the system is churning out grads who get to college or the workplace and are maladjusted/ therefore not performing optimally and/or quickly dropping out. Whole-child/SEL work is an evolution of government and philanthropic efforts centered on persistence-- not just getting kids to college but through. Those who complain about infusing this into a child's educational program likely have the resources and awareness to socialize this at home and/or within other engagements (sports, faith-based activities, etc.)[/quote]
