Melissa Reed; Heather Caswell – Kansas English, 2021
If educators want to create a learning environment that promotes authenticity, empathy must be embedded into instruction.

In this article, the authors define empathy,…

Does the current drive to incorporate social and emotional learning (SEL) into the K-12 curriculum represent a positive reform that will lead schools to educate the "whole student" and ultimately boost young people's academic success?

The nation's PK-12 education ecosystem is poised to embrace programs intended to enhance soft skills.

Such soft…

According to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education (2015), only 59 percent of students who enter four-year colleges complete their…

Fletcher, Jennifer – Liberal Education, 2013
When this author first started graduate school, she was an incurable snoop--deeply curious about the lifestyles of her professors. She looked through the bookcases in their offices, studied the clutter on their desks, and asked personal questions about everything from how they balanced work with family to how many hours they slept at night. She…
