Abstract

ABSTRACT Schools are adopting social emotional learning (SEL) programs, intending to provide students with intrapersonal and interpersonal skills to better prepare them for life. Transformative SEL is designed to promote the building of relationships between diverse students and educators to build more just schools and society. Because SEL models are heavily adopted, this paper addresses the inequities present within them. That is, traditional and transformative SEL fail BIPOC: Traditional SEL perpetuates the status quo by further marginalizing BIPOC and transformative SEL is too conceptual for successful adoption in PreK-12 schools. This article provides a brief discussion of traditional SEL, transformative SEL, and abolitionist teaching frameworks, then highlights educational practitioner narratives that discuss SEL adoptions that have proven harmful. We assert that we must (re)imagine and formulate a transformative SEL based on abolitionist teaching structures, which requires fully engaging the voices of our educators by presenting Transformative Abolitionist Social Emotional Learning (TASEL) framework, a practitioner-friendly SEL alternative framed by the tenets of equity and justice.

从自由梦想到现实:在学校采用变革性废奴主义社会情感学习(TASEL)

学校正在采用社会情感学习(SEL)课程，旨在为学生提供人际交往和人际交往技能，以更好地为他们的生活做好准备。变革性SEL旨在促进不同学生和教育者之间建立关系，以建立更公正的学校和社会。由于SEL模型被大量采用，本文解决了其中存在的不平等。也就是说，传统的和变革性的SEL失败了BIPOC:传统的SEL通过进一步边缘化BIPOC来维持现状，而变革性的SEL过于概念化，无法在pre -12学校成功采用。本文简要讨论了传统SEL、变革性SEL和废除主义教学框架，然后重点介绍了讨论已被证明有害的SEL采用的教育实践者叙述。我们主张，我们必须(重新)想象和制定一个基于废除主义教学结构的变革性SEL，这需要通过提出变革废除主义社会情感学习(TASEL)框架来充分参与教育者的声音，这是一个基于公平和正义原则的实践者友好型SEL替代方案。
