Bridging Common Core and Social Emotional Learning

As part of their site-based support for Common Core alignment and Social Emotional Learning integration, Inspire Academy educators will be gathering bi-weekly to explore ways they might increase integration of Social Emotional Competencies into their core classes. Today's first session began with a review of the implementation of their school-wide annotation guide; teachers reviewed implementation evidence and discussed next steps. Participants then worked through resources from the American Institutes for Research and Nicole Frazier & Donna Mehle to explore the connections between Social Emotional Learning and the Common Core. Resources for today's session can be found below.
