Trade Review
Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and Dominique Smith believe that we must nurture ourselves first before we can nurture students and the school: if we do not nurture ourselves, we will have compassion fatigue. Each section of this book supports self-care so that we are prepared to develop a plan for students. This mantra remains true in every chapter. The Social-Emotional Learning Playbook will certainly engage teachers while discussing the challenging and important work of improving social-emotional learning within the classroom and community. -- Crystal Wash * Researcher, CERA, Chicago, IL *
Including the social and emotional component in schools is vital, and the relevance of the book is clear: it is designed to be incorporated into a school or district’s SEL initiative. The topic is so very important, especially now, after and continuing the recovery after the pandemic. -- Lydia Bagley * Instructional Support Specialist Cobb County School District, Marietta, GA *
This book is an excellent professional development resource, filled with examples that are culturally relevant and grounded in real-world contexts to
help readers understand how SEL can be applied or practiced. I work closely with faculty and students in teacher education and early childhood education programs, and I would recommend this book to them. -- Jeffrey Liew * Professor, Texas A&M University, Bryan, TX *
