The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) has announced their top choices for “electronic resources that provide enhanced learning and curriculum development for school librarians and their educator collaborators.” These resources were formerly separated into the Best Apps and Best Websites for Teaching and Learning and are now combined into the Best Digital Tools for Teaching & Learning.
You can check out our archive of past recommended apps here.
The curriculum Emotional ABCs Classroom “is a teacher-led, research-based Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum that provides teachers (K–3) with 20 sequential Workshops, support materials, and a flexible structure for classroom instruction.” The program fulfills these foundations: Include, Collaborate, Engage, Explore.
This article from PR Newswire explains how the curriculum works and why it is important. EdSurge has this review of the program and states it is very easy for teachers to use. Common Sense Education shares pro/cons, more reviews, and teaching tools for using the Emotional ABCs program. And finally, the site itself has a free classroom teacher guide that includes workshops and additional materials.
Check out this two minute video about how the curriculum works:
Angie, Thank you so much for putting up this wonderful review of our program. We’ve been so proud to sign up teachers and school counselors at more than 55,000 schools across the USA (and now more than 50 countries worldwide) for our Free Teacher curriculum in just over a year. Our Free Teacher curriculum for teacher-led instruction includes everything in our program including our 20 Emotional ABCs Classroom Workshops that can be used in class or for distance learning. Hope you’re all being safe and washing your hands! Best, Mitch at Emotional ABCs
