社會情緒學習

很幸運能在2019-2020 擔任Fulbright FLTA 前往美國一年，除了擔任華語老師，同時也是一名大學生可以了解美國大學生上課的文化，以及課後社團等等。在美國一年，覺得美國的教育系統很 SUPPORTIVE 他支持學生的行為，關心學生的情緒問題，以及提供強而有力的後盾。身為一個Fulbrighter 我們擁有分享的使命，在美國觀察到，美國教育從小開始，非常注重閱讀，閱讀繪本中很多主題都跟情緒以及領導能力相關，於是今天想介紹Diane Alber  就社會情緒學習SEL 領域相關的繪本。

 What is SEL? 

Social Emotional Learning ( SEL)

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success.  People with strong social-emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially. From effective problem-solving to self-discipline, from impulse control to emotion management and more, SEL provides a foundation for positive, long-term effects on kids, adults, and communities.  Children thrive. Schools win. Workplaces benefit. Society strengthens. All due to social-emotional learning.

The Dragon Talks will help kids to understand that listening can be better than non-stop talking!

The Tantrum Monster will show you that things don't always go as planned, there is no need to be upset or mad.

For the outbreak of coronavirus, many kids have to stay at home; meanwhile, many of our favorite authors are offering online read-alouds and activities on social media. It's not only a nice chance for kids to practice reading alone but also a great chance to get to know more US Writers' of Children's books.

Diane Alber has had a passion for art since she held her first crayon at age two, which inspired her to subsequently earn a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Arizona State University. She is a wife and a mother of two young energetic children who love books. She became inspired to start writing and illustrating books because she saw a need for a book that inspired art and creativity in children. She also hopes that this book encourages parents to be proud of their children's art work no matter what it looks like!

"I wanted to create a story that not only taught kindness and empathy but also inspired creativity. “I’m NOT just a Scribble...” is the first children’s book in a series of books that will encourage children to create art. " Diane said.
