How to Integrate Social-Emotional Learning into Common Core Standards

February 7, 2014 by Greater Good Science Center

Do the Com­mon Core State Stan­dards under­mine social-emo­tion­al learning?

Many edu­ca­tors think so. In a recent Ed Week op-ed, an ele­men­tary prin­ci­pal argued that teach­ers were too busy teach­ing Com­mon Core to address the social-emo­tion­al devel­op­ment of their stu­dents. I’ve heard the same argu­ment from many teach­ers. This is trou­bling giv­en that researchers strong­ly sug­gest that the learn­ing process is  [Read more…] about How to Inte­grate Social-Emo­tion­al Learn­ing into Com­mon Core Standards

Research: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Helps Adults with ADHD

December 15, 2011 by Dr. David Rabiner

Many adults with ADHD do not obtain their diag­no­sis until adult­hood and have strug­gled with dif­fi­cul­ties relat­ed to undi­ag­nosed ADHD for their entire lives. As doc­u­ment­ed in recent stud­ies, this includes ele­vat­ed rates of depres­sion, anx­i­ety dis­or­ders, sub­stance use, work dif­fi­cul­ties and inter­per­son­al problems.

As with chil­dren and ado­les­cents, med­ica­tion treat­ment for adults with ADHD can be quite help­ful, espe­cial­ly for reduc­ing core ADHD symp­toms of inat­ten­tion and hyperactivity/impulsivity.  How­ev­er, [Read more…] about Research: Cog­ni­tive Behav­iour Ther­a­py Helps Adults with ADHD
