This resource demonstrates the importance of focusing on both academic achievement and creating the conditions for student success. As policymakers, education leaders, teachers and other stakeholders reform K-12 education, they should consider the framework used in this book. - Terry Pickeral, Executive Director, National Center for Learning and Citizenship, Education Commission of the States; ""Math and Science educators and their colleagues 'on the social and emotional side' are beginning to systematically share their knowledge, skills, and attitudes. In doing so, they balance and invigorate the educational culture of their schools."" - James P. Comer, MD; ""This volume offers insights into emotional and social issues connected with students' mathematics learning and problem solving."" - Joe Garofalo, Co-Director of the Center for Technology and Teacher Education and Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Virginia; ""If we are serious about improving academic achievement, particularly in science and mathematics, then we cannot ignore students' developmental needs."" - Jerry D.
