**Warning** (91) Different SEL Resources for Teachers

Posted on By The Dirty Truth

Just when you thought you knew about what SEL program is being taught in your kids school up pop (91) additional SEL Resources for Teachers.  Some of them may require contract commitments like Second Step and others may be free.  Many may also belong to the same organizations and their tangled webs of deceit.  They are all concerning but the “free” ones simply mean a backdoor for teachers if they are challenged on Second Step for example.

The upside is parents can get a real sense for how much SEL nastiness is out there.  Awareness is key.  So when you go to battle your kid’s school over SEL, unless you know specifically who the provider is just tell them you do not want ANY of it.
