Can SEL Reduce School Violence?
Nickerson, Amanda B.
Educational Leadership, v76 n2 p46-50 Oct 2018
In light of recent highly publicized and tragic incidents, such as the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, school communities are increasingly concerned about student and teacher safety. School leaders, politicians, and community members are frantically seeking solutions to the problem of school violence. Many of the ideas proposed have focused on security and "hardening" schools, and some lawmakers have even suggested arming teachers. One strategy that is more likely to work, if used as part of a comprehensive public health approach, is improved social-emotional learning (SEL).
