Student social, emotional and academic development becoming more intertwined in K-12 classrooms | EdSource

By Lee Romney

Researchers, educators, parents, teachers and youth advocates across the country increasingly agree that learning and practicing social and emotional skills in tandem with academics is crucial to K-12 student success.

That’s according to a report issued this week by The Aspen Institute’s National Commission on Social, Emotional and Academic Development.

The report marks the commission’s mid-way mark in its effort to explore “how to make social, emotional, and academic development part of the fabric of every school” and offer a road map “toward a future where every child receives the comprehensive support needed to succeed in school, in our evolving 21st century workplace, and in life.”
