Today, I interview Greg Mullen, a CA credentialed K-8 teacher, host of the Exploring the Core Podcast, and author of Creating a Self-Directed Learning Environment about how to teach both social-emotional learning skills and standards to our math students.   Greg covers: - What standards are at their core and why they are important - What social-emotional learning skills are and how they bolster student success in math - The nuanced difference between teaching students math and teaching them how to learn math - Practical tips to embed social-emotional learning into your math class to make for a more empowering learning experience   You can listen to Allison's interview on Greg's podcast, Exploring the Core, at https://exploring-the-core-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/s2e5   You can learn more about Greg at www.exploringthecore.com.    You can learn more about Allison at www.allisonlovesmath.com.
