Blumenthal, WCSU professor discuss social and emotional learning concept

Senator Richard Blumenthal is hosting a discussion on the importance of social and emotional learning within schools.  Western Connecticut State University Professor Dr Chris Kukk and child development agencies are participating in the series of discussions, the first held today in Norwalk. 

 

The concept was introduced in a bill in Congress in April named for one of the children killed at Sandy Hook School.  The idea was brought to Blumenthal by Scarlett Lewis, in honor of her son Jesse, to address how children learn to recognize and manage emotions, make responsible decisions and handle interpersonal situations effectively.

 

The Every Child Achieves Act, which passed both the House and the Senate earlier this summer and is now in conference.
