Should social-emotional learning goals be integrated into math? Why or why not? At the elementary level or k-12?

I would say not the full SEL curriculum, but I definitely see a place for the parts that deal with what we tell ourselves when we struggle with something, how to persevere, how to take responsibility for both successes and mistakes, healthy ways to use mistakes to improve on what we’re doing, etc. Those are things that could help kids push through problem solving when they don’t immediately get it.

You model how to treat people every moment of every day.

As SpEd Resource Educator who teaches both reading intervention and remedial math, it is imperative in my humble opinion to lead by example and incorporate social and emotional learning into yours, mine, and our instructing delivery.

smart

I think it would be helpful for elementary and middle school students who start to struggle with math at that age, or for students who are great at math from the get go but struggle more on the social emotional side. As a 4th grade teacher I have both types in my class so if integrating social/emotional goals into my lessons helped with that I'd be all for it.

It depends what you mean by SEL.

No. They are not part of math.

If you mean, should they be specifically addressed and assessed in the math classroom, that is a different issue. Is that what we are talking about?

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

Thoughts on Engage NY/Eureka math...

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
