Tactile Tools for Social Emotional Learning

Many emotional learning activities - the "E" in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) - include self-regulation skills typically led by teachers, but why not empower young people by giving them tools to choose their own self-regulation techniques? This practical and comprehensive book features 52 activities focusing on emotional learning, specifically self-regulation skills that incorporate tactile objects students can store in their personal "toolboxes." Each activity can be taught or guided by a teacher or classroom leader, supporting children to take charge of their own feelings and behavior, and thereby their own learning success. Tactile Tools for Social Emotional Learning is an important addition to any teacher's toolkit and is key reading for early childhood educators, elementary school teachers, resource/SPED teachers, and pre-service teachers.
