CHECK OUT THIS GREAT WEBSITE: SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN THE LIBRARY!

Joanna Drusin, a high school librarian at Brooklyn Tech HS in Brooklyn, has gifted us with a wonderful resource for SEL in the school library setting. Check out her website here: https://sites.google.com/bths.edu/librarysel/home/skills/self-advocacy

I’m grateful RANI PATEL IN FULL EFFECT is featured prominently on the site under the SEL skill of "Self-Advocacy."

Also, here’s a blurb regarding her site and how it can be useful: 

“Social and Emotional Learning in the Library is intended for use by school librarians, teachers, administrators and parents. (The resources are relevant to classroom teaching outside of the library, as well).
Included are tools that librarians and teachers can use to help support specific SEL skills: mindfulness, empathy and friendship, grit and persistence and self-advocacy. I am hoping that these resources will be helpful to others, especially at this strange moment in history when kids have gone through trauma of one kind or another, and can use support and love.
Each skill page also includes suggested bulletin board displays and high-interest books, for grade 6-12. These books would be appropriate for independent reading, book clubs, or full-class study. I've also compiled a longer list of SEL-related titles for 6-12 on the site. In an effort to address the immediate needs of librarians and teachers, I also included resources for remote/blended learning, as well as resources for parents, and resources to help librarians and teachers navigate discussions around COVID-19, the Black Lives Matter movement, loss and trauma.
I hope that these resources can be useful to you in some way. We all have social and emotional needs and are on an ongoing journey of figuring those things out!”
