Students Don’t Need an SEL Class, But Rather Authentic Opportunities to Practice These Skills
Right now is an exciting time in education, because many students around the country are being introduced to a whole new subject: computer science. When is the last time a new subject lined up alongside math, reading, science, social studies, and the rest?
