Social and Emotional Learning: A Policy Vision for the Future
by Clark McKown
The social and emotional learning (SEL) project is nearing a critical moment.

To fulfill its potential will require a coordinated SEL policy framework. Such a framework should achieve four things: set clear standards, create incentives for rigorous adoption of evidence-based SEL programs, require SEL coursework in teacher training programs, and support sustained investment in SEL research and development.
