According to today’s research, you need two things to be successful in adulthood, and grades aren’t one of them – social competence and grit. In this episode, nationally-recognized speaker on Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking® methodology and founder of the Social Learning program at The Parish School, Renee Attaway, discusses social-emotional learning, and its far-reaching impact on a child’s development. Our team discusses how social isn’t just about playing together on the playground, but also how the social world plays into academics, and how to support social-emotional learning at home and in the classroom.
