“I’m not a math person.” “I’m not a writer.” “I’m not a science kid.” We tell ourselves stories like these all the time, and those stories can hold us back.
In this eSchool News piece, Colorado teacher Lauren McKinney shares how she helps students rewrite that story. She treats mistakes as part of learning, invites curiosity before expecting the right answer, and helps students build the confidence to say exactly what confuses them.
Her classroom is science, but the lesson applies to every subject. When students feel they belong, they’re more willing to take risks, ask questions, and keep trying.

If we’re never failing, it means we’re not stretching ourselves. Failure is a normal part of life, but helping children understand and accept this is not always easy.
We can help by forging strong relationships with them and building an open, caring culture that normalizes failure as part of learning, puts trauma in context, encourages civic engagement, and gives students chances to express themselves.

Our CEO Josh Starr wrote a piece for @The74 this week. His question: is chronic absenteeism our students' version of "quiet quitting?"
And if so, what are schools doing to re-engage those kids who are checking out?

Starr: Perhaps chronic absenteeism is a canary in the coal mine portending a much deeper issue, especially at the middle and high school levels buff.ly/372z2U1

On Halloween, we can be anyone we want to be. A superhero, a scientist, a friendly ghost! 🎃
But every other day of the year, we want students to know they can show up as themselves and still belong. When schools build a culture where every student feels seen and valued, exactly who they are.
Happy Halloween from all of us at CASEL!

We have a new blog written by Sreehari Ravindranath and Suchetha Bhat of Dream a Dream. They look at evidence from two statewide programs in India, Delhi’s Happiness Curriculum and Uttarakhand’s Anandam Pathyacharya, and explore what happens when SEL reaches scale.
Their takeaway: the conditions schools create, like trust, safety, and belonging, matter as much as the curriculum itself.
