The Allstate Foundation champions SEL and service-learning programs to ensure youth reach their full potential and have the power to build the just, equitable and healthy world we all deserve. Learn more >>
We need to include SEL in everything we teach. Whether we’re teaching in person or virtually, the positive, long-term effects of students having SEL skills last well beyond a single school year. As an added bonus in the short-term, teaching social and emotional skills leads to better academic achievement and improved behavior. In this vein, we’ve partnered with The Allstate Foundation to create this staff meeting kit that uses lessons from the well-received book SEL From a Distance by Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan and John Hannigan.
