[quote=Anonymous][quote=TheSpanishDoctor]This is RULER's Year 1/Lesson 1: [url]https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1J0sP7rfikEl8KpObVeVDvbO4qwm4gJfdoMFQVvmBHVw/edit?usp=sharing[/url].

I'm curious to know what "the research" says about non-SEL experts, such as myself, being asked to teach SEL lessons.

Anyway, here are some highlights.

Slide 2: Day 1 with these lessons and we're supposed to ask, "Has anyone ever had a conflict with a family member where there was a disagreement that escalated and emotions got out of hand?" Yes, let's revisit some trauma.

Slide 5: "Each of you will pick a role and re-enact the scene so that an agreement is reached that is acceptable both people. (sic)" This slide was optional. We did not do this. I commented to the instructional aide that we would not be doing what John Bender did in the Breakfast Club. (I think she got the reference.)

[b]Slide 9: Watch the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence count to 10. [/b]

In my Patriot Period, we (I mean mostly "I") only talked about slides 7 and 9.

Does anyone else want teachers and kids to have 30 minutes of their day back?[/quote]

It’s emotional intelligence, not mathematical intelligence.

It’s equity counting. All numbers are equal.[/quote]
