Abstract

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, social and emotional learning (SEL) was in high demand. From multiple fields, including education, psychology, and economics, research has demonstrated SEL’s effectiveness for supporting students’ academic performance and long-term success. For decades, secular educators have been focused on SEL while Jewish educators’ interest has lagged. Now with a pandemic that has greatly affected the lives of children and family members across the US, both secular and Jewish educational institutions are searching for ways to support learners during and after this emotionally difficult time. SEL is being appreciated as a way of caring for students as well as a way of helping learners in their growth as individuals and as members of a community. A new book, Nurturing Students’ Character: Everyday Teaching Activities for Social-emotional Learning, by Kress and Elias (2020), offers a straightforward guide for teachers to support learners’ emotional, moral, and relational needs. It is rare to find a resource that is grounded in theory, integrates across the subdisciplines of education and developmental psychology, and provides excellent strategies for practitioners. Nurturing Students’ Character is not intended exclusively for a Jewish audience, and yet, it has much to teach Jewish educators. As a former special education teacher and inclusionbehavior specialist, and as a current researcher in Jewish educational studies, I was intrigued by the authors’ approach to SEL as a lens through which all learning ought to be viewed.
书评文章
甚至在新冠肺炎大流行之前,社会和情感学习(SEL)的需求就很高。包括教育、心理学和经济学在内的多个领域的研究已经证明了SEL在支持学生学习成绩和长期成功方面的有效性。几十年来,世俗教育工作者一直关注SEL,而犹太教育工作者的兴趣一直滞后。现在,随着一场疫情极大地影响了美国各地儿童和家庭成员的生活,世俗和犹太教育机构都在寻找在这段情感困难时期及其后支持学习者的方法。SEL被认为是一种照顾学生的方式,也是一种帮助学习者作为个人和社区成员成长的方式。Kress和Elias(2020)的新书《培养学生的性格:社会情感学习的日常教学活动》为教师支持学习者的情感、道德和关系需求提供了一个简单的指南。很少能找到一种以理论为基础,整合教育和发展心理学各分支学科,并为从业者提供优秀策略的资源。培养学生的性格并不是专门针对犹太观众的,然而,它对犹太教育工作者有很多启示。作为一名前特殊教育教师和包容性行为专家,以及目前犹太教育研究的研究员,我对作者将SEL作为看待所有学习的透镜的方法很感兴趣。
