Social-emotional learning is so important for our kids. Unfortunately, I know that many psychologists (myself included) don’t necessarily focus on social-emotional learning during our evaluations or when we think about recommendations for kids. Fortunately, Dr. Evelyn Johnson is here to talk through the ins and outs of SEL. These are a few areas that we cover:

  • The history and definition of social-emotional learning
  • How SEL is related to mental health
  • Cultural Considerations in SEL
  • Aperture software and ways to measure SEL
  • Cool Things Mentioned

    • The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting
    • CASEL
    • Featured Resource

      About Dr. Jeremy Sharp

      I’m a licensed psychologist and Clinical Director at the Colorado Center for Assessment & Counseling, a private practice that I founded in 2009 and have grown to over 20 clinicians. I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. These days, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation with kids and adolescents.

      As the host of the Testing Psychologist Podcast, I provide private practice consulting for psychologists and other mental health professionals who want to start or grow psychological testing services in their practices. I live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my wife (also a therapist) and two young kids.
