I read this book for grad school. It was a pretty good read and I liked the topics Hoerr covered. SEL is so important and is a top priority for me in my classroom. I was honestly surprised at how behind my own school is when it comes to SEL. There were a lot of good ideas shared by Hoerr and others throughout the book that I would like to see implemented in my school one day.
