Most parents support teaching students collaboration, self-confidence, empathy and civic engagement though some are wary of the phrase 'social-emotional learning.'

Extended learning, tutoring and small-group instruction lead the way as schools work to accelerate—rather than remediate—to ward off COVID-era learning loss.

If traditional K-12 schools take a more individualized approach to learning and allow kids more opportunities for self-led learning it would lead to higher levels of interest in high-demand STEM fields.

Schools must rethink what it means to effectively educate students while considering their emotional well-being too.
