April Newsletter

2016 April Newsletter Header

April has been an exciting month as Tara Flippo, our Youth & Student Programs Director, released her first book, pictured above.

 Social and Emotional Learning in Action (SELA) is an easy to use source book facilitated by teaching and/or counseling practitioners primarily in school settings. 

The pedagogical basis for these lessons are shaped around the research findings of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), indicating that the inclusion of social and emotional development programs positively affect academic achievement.

We look forward to sharing more with you in the coming months about training workshops supporting the book content! 

Wishing you all the best,

Pam, Mark, Tara, Jeff & Crystie
