    “From my nearly twenty years of experience in public education, I've learned that the most effective teachers are the ones who pay attention to all students’ needs as they walk through the door, whether academic, health- and wellness-related, or social-emotional. Based on tested strategies, Everyday SEL in Elementary School is the 21st-century GPS for addressing students' social-emotional needs, building classroom community, and creating engaged citizens.” --Mario R. Rossero, Senior Vice President of Education, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
