The Washoe County school district in Reno, Nev., has been way ahead of most other districts in its approach to social-emotional learning, especially in measuring students鈥 SEL skills, which are part of the district鈥檚 accountability system. 澳门跑狗论坛, which first reported on Washoe鈥檚 SEL work in 2016, checked back in with the district this school year to learn how its work on social-emotional learning has been progressing. We visited high school classes that are pointedly about developing SEL skills such as coping with stress and the power of thought. Stephan Molder, an SEL teacher in Reno鈥檚 Hug High School, says successful social-emotional learning starts with the adults in schools. He boils it down to this: "...It鈥檚 all about building relationships with students. I never wreck the relationship, no matter what. I always try to save the relationship first.鈥
