As a founding member of the National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development (the “SEAD Commission”), the Dalio Foundation proudly endorses the newly released report, “From a Nation at Risk to a Nation at Hope,” and accompanying recommendations for research, policy, and practice on how to best educate children and honor creative teaching.
National polling shows that nine out of 10 teachers believe that social and emotional learning is key to student success in school and life. It’s a concept that we’ve seen educators statewide embrace through their educational approach, and that we’ve seen proven true by student outcomes in our own classrooms as well as others across Connecticut. Now a new report shows that the evidence base confirms what teachers know and understand so well from their front-line experience.
We understand that to reach children’s minds, we must address their holistic needs as human beings, attending to social and emotional development as well as academic learning.
