Behavior Experts Drs. Jessica and John Hannigan on "SEL From a Distance: Tools and Processes from Anytime, Anywhere."

<p>Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, episode #91, with Jessica and John Hannigan, the authors of the brand-new book, SEL From a Distance: Tools and Processes for Anytime, Anywhere. <a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a> This is a timely and importance topic, with the pandemic this year, and subsequent switch to distance learning combined with recent instances of racial injustice has put a spotlight on the cracks in the practice of social and emotional learning (SEL). I launched this podcast in June of 2019 when I saw the need to highlight leaders in the field of SEL, but now, more than ever before, schools are shifting their focus and prioritizing SEL competencies—around the nation and the world. </p> <p> </p> <p><a href='https://youtu.be/N1YYyAjJFwc'>Watch this interview on YouTube here. </a></p> <p> </p> <p>My name is Andrea Samadi,  and if you are new here, I’m a former educator who created this podcast to bring the most current neuroscience research, along with high performing experts who have risen to the top of their field, with specific strategies or ideas that you can implement immediately, whether you are an educator, or in the corporate space, to take your results to the next level. If we want to improve our social, emotional and cognitive abilities, it all starts with an understanding of our brain. </p> <p> </p> <p>Today I am thrilled to have behavior experts Jessica and John Hannigan, who have drawn together a collection of tools and processes for social and emotional learning that can be applied in any learning environment with their NEW book, SEL from a Distance.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr. Jessica Hannigan is an assistant professor in the Educational Leadership Department at California State University, Fresno.
