Enraged2Engaged:
High-Engagement 7-12 ELA and SECD Lessons
Providing support for students to be independent is 1000x better than spoon-feeding them the answers. Clarity and scaffolding are not coddling; clear directions and lots of practice are the basis of good teaching.
E2E lessons don't talk down to kids. They are highly-structured plans based on a successful track record of addressing adolescent behavior disorders and improving social skills. Accessibility for SPED and ELL are not afterthoughts; they are built into the heart of each design.

The value of social/emotional learning
My students have experienced greater success than many of their Emotional and Behavior Disorder (EBD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) peers who do not receive explicit social/emotional learning instruction—moving into less restrictive learning settings, experiencing improved relationships with peers and adults, reducing office referrals and suspensions significantly, and increasing academic performance and task completion.
All students benefit
Explicit instruction in social and emotional learning benefits all students and is essential for students with EBD and/or ASD.
Higher success rates
Students are more successful, both academically and behaviorally, when social/emotional instruction is a component of a district's curriculum.
Specialized support is key
Students with EBD and/or ASD require specialized social/emotional support in order to be successful in the general education curriculum.
