1moWhat an amazing webinar! Thanks International Literacy Association for providing the opportunity to learn from researchers in the field of #neuroscience #literacy and #SEL. Understanding how all of these factors work together when students are learning to read is paramount for teachers to intentionally create lessons so that students are successful. We have seen so much progress when working with schools and districts as they use our book #mmplaybook to integrate academics with social and emotional learning…which we now refer to as “student success skills”. Since we ran overtime and there is so much more to discuss, would you consider a follow up session?
