Emotionally Responsive Practice

Koplow's framework goes deeper than the typical SEL skills checklist by asking educators to examine how school culture and adult relationships shape children's emotional and cognitive development from the ground up. Bank Street's decades of practice in high-need communities give this real grounding, and the book's recognition by ERIC signals genuine standing in the academic education literature. The audience is specific — K-6 educators and school leaders — but for that audience, this is a substantive and distinctive resource.
