Kindness and empathy are cornerstones of social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, enabling learners to understand others and more fully develop these qualities within themselves. The organization CHARACTER COUNTS! has developed a collection of lesson plans, activities, and discussion topics with the popular Kindness 101 series from CBS News Steve Hartman as a relatable way for K-12 students to learn these concepts. Teachers, caregivers and parents can visit this site: https://lnkd.in/eRmg-TFb to view or download the materials. Are you developing or updating an SEL curriculum? Visit our website https://lnkd.in/etWX28gc to find out how we can support your product development requirements. #SocialEmotionalLearning #SEL #Kindness #Empathy #CharacterCounts

The US Presidential election takes place 7 weeks from today (and early voting is getting underway in some states), making civic education a timely topic. This recent article https://lnkd.in/eMjfhzps from The Associated Press looks at how organizations around the country have developed programs to help high-school students be more engaged and improve their civic knowledge. #CivicEducation #CivicEngagement #Democracy #Education #InformedElectorate

Our Emma Hudson is in attendance for today's Freelance Publishing Professionals Awayday and recently became Avallain certified. You can also visit our website https://lnkd.in/eumsn6vq to get information on how this certification benefits edtech and education companies who are creating digital learning materials for English Language Teaching. #ELT #EnglishLanguageTeaching #PublishingProfessionals #DigitalEducation #Awayday
Such a pleasure to be here today with my colleague Max Bondi at the Freelance Publishing Professionals Awayday, talking about Avallain's approach to both accessibility and AI. All in 30 mins. Yes, we're talking fast 🙂 We gave a plenary on these topics at the Awayday last year but we felt an update was more than warranted: after all, how much has changed in just a year, with automated, AI-driven accessibility tools and AI-based content creation and remediation tools all now a central offering in Avallain Author. Great to have the opportunity to speak with friends and colleagues about how these key developments may impact our vibrant industry. But the greatest pleasure, of course, is catching up with our friends and connections in the industry brought together by Freelance Publishing Professionals, from freelancers to publishers and service providers. Great also to see friends from Avallain Author Certified Teams Hyphen S.A., Weblink Software, Newgen KnowledgeWorks, Westchester Education, Troika (sorry not to catch The Content Station, too, but hopefully next year). Thanks to our brilliant hosts Karen Spiller and Helen Holwill for creating - as ever - all the ingredients for a fascinating, inclusive and creative day. #avallain #publishingprofessionals #publishingai
