Book Review: NISSEM Global Briefs: Educating for the Social, the Emotional and the Sustainable, edited by Andy Smart, Margaret Sinclair, Aaron Benavot, Jean Bernard, Colette Chabbott, S. Garnett Russell, and James Williams
In her review of NISSEM Global Briefs: Educating for the Social, the Emotional and the Sustainable edited by Andy Smart, Margaret Sinclair, Aaron Benavot, Jean Bernard, Colette Chabbott, S. Garnett Russell, and James Williams, Solfrid Raknes outlines how, taken together, the contributing authors present a strategy for promoting Target 4.7 of the UN Sustainable Development Goal, for example by embedding SEL themes in textbooks promoting inclusion and social cohesion through educational resources. Raknes argues, like the authors of the NISSEM Global Briefs, that social and emotional skills are critical to navigating an increasingly unequal, globalized, and polluted world.
