Edutopia – Elizabeth Peterson
“Have you ever used music to heighten your mood or help you relax? Created a piece of art that symbolized who you are? Empathized with a character on stage or screen? Connected with someone on the dance floor? If so, you were experiencing how the arts can naturally help people develop social and emotional well-being. We can be intentional in creating these kinds of experiences in schools by integrating the arts with social and emotional learning (SEL), which is all about knowing and managing yourself and being able to empathize and interact well with others.” (more)
