While the framework of social emotional learning (SEL) is often used in concert with blended and personalized learning (BL/PL) strategies, there exists some tensions between these practices, as well as strong complementarities. This session targets the specific implementation challenge of fostering SEL while also supporting BL/PL. This session brings together research as well as on-the-ground experience from a school district that is currently implementing both SEL and BL/PL.
