Social-Emotional Learning Through STEAM Projects Grades 4-5

<p><em>Social-Emotional Learning Through STEAM Projects Grades 4-5 </em>helps educators target the development of social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies for high-ability learners through interdisciplinary project-based inquiry. Aligned with STEAM content standards each of the nine projects introduces students to a real-world problem through essential questions and the presentation of a primary source document. Both the content and the inquiry process support SEL competency development from self-awareness to selfmanagement social awareness relationship skills and responsible decision-making. As students work to understand and pose solutions to each problem they gain the knowledge and practical skills needed to become more socially and emotionally competent individuals in their classroom communities.</p>
