Difficult emotions can be as contagious as the coronavirus — and just as hard to contain. That’s where social and emotional learning comes in. “Education is not just reading, writing and arithmetic,” says Byron Sanders, president and CEO of Big Thought. “It’s also about learning about yourself, learning about your identity, learning to express yourself.”
In this FWD>DFW segment, which first aired on Facebook Live, host Ron Corning talks with Sanders and other education professionals to shed light on what’s being done to assist schoolchildren with social and emotional health during the pandemic.
