SEL Weekly Update

I’ve recently begun this weekly post where I’ll be sharing resources I’m adding to The Best Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Resources or other related “Best” lists:

Yet another article questioning the effectiveness of deliberate practice has come out, this time in The New Yorker. It’s titled Practice Doesn’t Make Perfect. Like similar pieces, it misses an obvious point, which you can read about in my post, Deliberate Practice, The Olympics & Red Herrings.

Introducing Growth Mindset in Math is from Runde’s Room. I’m adding it to The Best Resources On Helping Our Students Develop A “Growth Mindset.”

Teaching Teenagers to Cope With Social Stress is from The New York Times. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Teens & Stress.

The Bonus Effect is from Alfie Kohn. I’m adding it to The Best Posts & Articles On “Motivating” Students.

I’m adding this tweet to The Best Posts, Articles & Videos About Learning From Mistakes & Failures:
