DESCRIPTION:Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a dominant orthodoxy in
  education systems around the world.  To many it is a panacea.  To others 
 it is a waste of time and resources.  This seminar will provide an in-dept
 h and balanced examination of the critical issues pervading the field.   E
 ach substantive aspect of SEL - definitions and conceptualization\, origin
 s and influences\, international policy and practice\, assessment and moni
 toring\, implementation and outcomes - will be examined through a critical
  lens. I will highlight key strengths and significant flaws in SEL theory 
 and research\, and consider the priorities for the next generation of inqu
 iry in the field. I hope the talk will be of interest to anyone concerned 
 with the role played by schools in promoting children's social and emotion
 al wellbeing.
