This book presents the pedagogical basis for using role plays to teach social and emotional skills, and provides over 45 model lessons that can be delivered in middle and high school classrooms. A rich resource for principals and classroom teachers, it addresses the how, why and what of teaching social and emotional skills in our diverse society.

There is a growing trend in education for educators to support students in the development of social and emotional skills. SEL mandates are now part of many state assessments and national initiatives, and there are countless curriculum from which principals and teachers may choose. However, many of these curricular materials fail to address the question of pedagogy, or what is the best method for teaching social and emotional skills? Humanizing the Classroom: Using Role Plays to Teach Social and Emotional Skills in Middle and High School answers this question by presenting the pedagogical basis for using role plays to teach social and emotional skills, creating a clear link between SEL and the need for culturally relevant teaching, and providing over 45 model lessons that can be delivered in middle and high school classrooms. A rich resource for principals, classroom teachers, and educational theater and drama teachers, addresses the how, why and what of teaching social and emotional skills in our diverse society.

Kristin Stuart Valdes is a progressive educator, instructional designer, and artist with 15 years of experience supporting teachers in the areas and social and emotional learning, conflict resolution, racial equity initiatives, and integrated arts-based pedagogy. Her work in NYC and nationally helps teachers improve classroom climate and embrace innovative student-centered learning approaches.
