Social-emotional learning for preschool students

Social-emotional learning for preschool students 

This study from the Early Childhood Education Journal looks at the effects of an SEL curriculum on the social and emotional competence of preschool students. Participating teachers and students were assigned to either a treatment group or a control group. In the treatment group, Strong Start Pre-K was implemented, a program that covers specific objectives and goals that help to prevent emotional and mental health problems; optional booster lessons are included to reinforce skills. In the control group, Strong Start Pre-K was not implemented. 

Results of the study indicated a significant decrease in internalizing behaviors and more improvement in the student-teacher relationship in the treatment group. In addition, results supported the use of the optional booster lessons.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
