Social-Emotional Learning remains in the spotlight
Check out these recently published articles in leading industry publications where TSI shares insights about social-emotional learning and its impact on students.
In the summer issue of “Independent School,” NAIS’s quarterly magazine, Laura Tierney, founder of TSI, discusses the increasingly complex challenges schools face when addressing the need for social media education. Read her article, The Missing Piece, to learn how schools can incorporate social media and technology into their SEL curriculum and empower and equip students with the skills they need to use social media in positive and meaningful ways.
TSI’s founder also shared her thoughts on The New Role of School Tech Leaders in Social-Emotional Health for GettingSmart.com. As she writes in this article, “With technology now woven into the fabric of student’s daily lives, the role of school technology leaders has never been more important. Beyond handing out devices and troubleshooting tech issues, school tech leaders now have the ability – and frankly the responsibility – to empower students to use technology and social media to fuel their health, happiness, and future success.”
eSchool News covered TSI’s growth and momentum as school leaders across the country look to enhance SEL education after a challenging year.
