Do your ELA lesson plans for the new semester include activities that will encourage both academic and emotional growth?  

SEL in the ELA Classroom joins social emotional learning and CCSS-aligned activities that mirror common literary themes. It's a simple way to supplement your existing ELA curriculum while laying the foundation for a kinder, more socially productive class environment.

Each assignment, from bell ringers to writing tasks and projects, is clearly broken down and includes detailed lesson plans with suggested uses and modifications.

This year, demonstrate both the "hard skills" your students will need to succeed in academics and the "soft skills" they'll need to succeed in life.
