Professional Book Discussion Group focuses on SEL in Year 9
It has been a pleasure working with Dr. Ashlee Campbell, co-president of the Niagara Frontier Reading Council, over the summer coordinating the Professional Book Discussion Group study with the “Superpower of Neuroscience” Fall Event to explore social-emotional learning in-depth.

To that end, an extensive list of children’s books and adult resources related to SEL was compiled and will be distributed to participants attending the Fall Event program. In addition, Kim Krug, owner of Monkey See, Monkey Do arranged for a dedicated NFRC link on Bookshop  where books featured on this list can be purchased by interested NFRC members at a discount.
We will use this SEL resource to begin our Professional Book Discussion Group for Year 9 on October 27th from 6:30-8:30 (virtual) with a discussion of outstanding children’s books with SEL-related themes. Prepare in advance for the meeting by familiarizing yourself with books on the list and choosing those you’d like to highlight in our discussion. Two CTLE credits will be given. Note: Members do not have to attend the Fall Event to participate in the PBDG discussion; however, pre-registration is necessary in order to receive the secure link. Find more details and sign-up here: https://www.thenfrc.org/professional-book-discussion-group.html#/.   As a perk of membership, the NFRC Professional Book Discussion Group is open to members of any NYSRA chapter.
 
In the spring semester the PBDG plans to read and discuss a professional resource on the topic of SEL. The committee met over the summer and chose the following title:
 
All Learning Is Social and Emotional: Helping Students Develop Essential Skills for the Classroom and Beyond by Nancy Frey and Doug Fisher.
 
Here is a link to the book on Amazon.
