The Success of Social and Emotional Learning: Building “Critical Mass”
The goal for school communities involved in social and emotional learning is to engage in a diverse range of practices to achieve the critical mass needed to shape student thinking, feeling and behaving. If critical mass is not achieved, the impact of social and emotional learning programs will be uneven and the effort of participating staff un-rewarded.
