Infos

Critiquing Social and Emotional Learning offers a systematic cultural analysis of social and emotional learning (SEL) as a codified phenomenon in education, critiquing the messages of SEL and the impact they have on teachers and children. Clio Stearns argues for more allowance of negative affect and complex emotional existence in the classroom.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has been steadily gaining traction in education, but little attention has been paid to its underlying assumptions. In Critiquing Social and Emotional Learning:Psychodynamic and Cultural Perspectives, Clio Stearns draws on qualitative classroom observations, teacher interviews, and analysis of prominent SEL program materials to offer a critique of SEL as a codified phenomenon. Stearns questions undergirding presumptions about children, teachers, and SEL's interplay with cultural and educational trends. Claiming that SEL participates in cultural demands for ';hegemonic positivity,' Stearns illustrates the dangers and undesirable demands of this impossible curricular regime. In particular, Stearns highlights how closeness and understanding in the classroom are repeatedly circumvented and how normative and necessary parts of life like negative affect and interpersonal conflict are disregarded. In Stearnss view, the educational community should not consider childrens social and emotional worlds as fair domain for mastery or learning. Instead, we should consider social and emotional education as something without a predetermined endpoint, requiring the joint and ongoing participation of teachers and students
