8 Resources that Explore the Intersection of PBL and Social Emotional Learning

This week, I had the pleasure of working with many of the staff at Old Rochester Regional School District (via EdTechTeacher) where we explored the intersection and interconnectedness between Project-Based Learning and Social Emotional Learning. Below are several resources that I shared during the session that I believe are worth a look for those interested in student-centered approaches (PBL, Personalized Learning, Design Thinking) and want to learn more about how we can scaffold and support students’ SEL development throughout the learning process.
