Around the globe, there is a growing awareness of the importance of
addressing students' social and emotional development and wellbeing
during schooling. Although the bulk of the work in this area has
been conducted in North America and Europe, there is now a
burgeoning interest in this topic in Australia and the wider Asia
Pacific. This book is the first ever to provide a timely and
important collection of diverse perspectives on and approaches to
social and emotional learning in the Australian and Asia Pacific
context. Adopting a broad view of social and emotional learning,
the book explores positive psychology, belonging, teachers'
professional development, pre-service training and post-initial
training in Australia and in neighbouring communities such as
China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Fiji, and other
Pacific nations. "Frydenberg, Martin, and Collie have provided an
incredible service by bringing together in a single well planned
scholarly volume an incredible and well balanced group of senior
and early career cutting edge researchers from Australia, Asia and
the Asia Pacific area tackling approaches and key issues of social
and emotional learning. Their much needed volume links research on
key factors, such as differing perspectives, measurement issues,
the identification of at-risk children, teachers' social and
emotional development, and these and other across the cultures of
an increasingly vibrant and developing geographic region. It is
indeed encouraging to gain the sense of depth and breadth of
ongoing research that the volume gives. " John Roodenburg PhD FAPS
MCEDP MCCOUNSP, Monash University Melbourne "Social and Emotional
Learning is understood to be a crucial part of the school
curriculum. This book covers the field, with a refreshing focus on
work being done in Australia and in neighbouring countries. For
school psychologists, the book helps us to understand how SEL can
help at every level - from working with individuals, small groups,
whole classes, or with the entire school. Our work with vulnerable
students, individually or in small groups, is always more effective
when embedded in the broader context of Social and Emotional
Learning." Paul Bertoia FAPS MCEDP, Senior School Psychologist
"This collected volume of researchers from Australia and the
Asia-Pacific provides a thorough review of important educational,
social, and emotional development issues for practitioners and
researchers around the world. Readers will greatly benefit from the
breadth and depth of treatment in each of the topics
covered."Kit-Tai Hau, PhD, Choh-Ming Li Professor of Educational
Psychology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
