Social and Emotional Learning Booklist. We asked children’s book publishers to tell us about some of their more recent efforts to market and promote books that encompass social and emotional learning themes.
In addition to sharing how they connect with educators, librarians, caregivers, and counselors, publishers also pointed to some of the top titles they’ve been spotlighting in this area, and we’ve compiled them as a resource list. Though there are surely many books focused on SEL themes—including some that are very well-known and loved—this list intentionally focuses on publishers’ most recent SEL-related titles. Abracadabra! : The Magic of Trying by Maria Loretta Giraldo, illus. by Nicoletta Bertelle (Magination), shines a light on perseverance and the discovery of one’s inner magic. Ages 4–8. Amina’s Voice by Hena Khan (S&S/Salaam Reads). Be Mindful, Donald! Being Edie Is Hard Today by Ben Brashares, illus. by Elizabeth Bergeland (Little, Brown, spring 2019).

Public libraries have a mission to provide a variety of materials in a variety of formats. Board games, card games, and videogames are stories & information, presented in new formats. Libraries are about stories & information, not books. Or, as Eli Neiburger says, we’re in the content business Games fit library mission Public libraries have a mission to provide cultural, recreational, and entertaining materials, as well as informational and educational materials.
What do gaming events and programs bring to the library? Gaming programs are primarily social events. Do public libraries circulate or program with videogames rated “M” for mature? Yes. In NY, a library has started an M rated collection for adults.At the Benicia (CA) Library, teens can play Halo 3 if their parents sign a permission slip. Is it mostly teenagers that take advantage of these programs? Yes, which is interesting, because the average age of the gamer is 35 and rising! EdWebet94 - SEL.
Critical Issues Playlist Fall 2018. Week 13: Obstacles & Opportunities (BYOR= Bring your own reading) It's Annual Report Season! Here Are Some Tips To Help You Effectively Tell Your Story. At this time of year, many teacher librarians are working to compile an annual report: that is to say a 2-3 page summary of how their work made a difference for students and staff all year long.
As someone who has crafted more than one of these babies, I understand and appreciate the work that goes into the shiny final products. Further, I know that the most effective annual reports are not simply collections of data pulled together at the last minute. The most stunning and impressive examples are intentionally and methodically crafted all year long. In other words, if you're only just now thinking about doing an annual report, the bad news is that you're probably too late for this year. HOWEVER, the good news is, you're just in time to get a jump start on one for next year! What Makes A Good Annual Report: I've asked countless librarians this very question as part of a workshop I do regularly on connecting the dots between the library and student outcomes.

A Culturally Responsive Approach to Discussing Thanksgiving in the Classroom. In this ongoing series, we explore what culturally responsive teaching looks like at different grade levels and offer concrete examples and resources.

Using Children’s Books to Address Anxiety in Schools. There are many different factors behind why anxiety and depression have increased in children in recent years: limitations on free play, social media use, the current state of the political climate in this country, and more.
According to a study about the lifetime prevalence of mental disorders in adolescents (ages 13-18) from the United States, nearly one in three fit the criteria for an anxiety disorder. The Center for Disease Control found that 32% of teens reported persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness in a study that ranged from 2007 to 2017. Mental health awareness is crucial for all of us, and it needs to be discussed with children starting at an early age.
Books are a great way to bring up these topics to let children know that it’s okay to talk about these things, especially through the lens of a beloved character or riveting storyline. Below we’ve categorized some of our books that address anxiety in several different categories. Financial Anxiety. The Aftermath of Irma as Seen from Space.
