Book Description
Social and emotional development impacts all learning domains and is the foundation for promoting and developing healthy and resilient individuals who are better prepared to learn in a school environment. Children with developmental delays display difficulties developing social and emotional skills due to their disabilities, which affects their academic success. Presently, there are limited curriculums addressing the development of the social and emotional skills of toddlers with disabilities. There is evidence that music curriculums can improve the social and emotional needs of children, and there are studies demonstrating the effectiveness of social emotional programs for typical elementary and preschool children. A music-based social emotional program, the Circle of Education, was adapted to address the specific needs of toddlers with developmental delays in order to improve language, cognition, and social emotional skills. Following its implementation, student outcomes display improvement in cognitive, language, and social emotional areas of development, based on the Hawaii Early Learning Curriculum Based Assessment and teacher's observations.

Book Description
The importance of social and emotional development in early childhood children is now being highly researched in the fields of education and child and family development. Social and emotional development impacts many domains of learning and is the platform for other skills to be explored and mastered. One way to enhance this learning is through the use of music. Music engages both the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which is still developing during the early childhood years. Children feel confident and challenged to think in new ways when accessing both parts of the brain and engaging in musical interventions. There is research exploring the benefits of music with peers in the school setting, but little research on the benefits of music for the family unit in the school. There are particular populations struggling with social and emotional skills that would benefit greatly from a musical intervention in school. Music can enhance communication and be particularly successful for children with autism. When creating a curriculum to support social and emotional development, there is research that supports planning projects based on the interests of the children. This type of lesson planning allows for more meaningful learning to take place. Music has the capacity to bring children and families together and to engage in a group activity that aids in communication, attachment and the creation of social connections.

Book Description
At the end of the last century, social emotional learning (SEL) emerged as a relevant theme in education all over the world. What is SEL? SEL may be defined as a multidimensional construct orchestrating individuals’ ability to identify and manage emotions, feelings, and concern for others, as well as to organize and manage behaviors toward goals, solve problems and develop positive relationships. SEL has been gaining growing popularity among researchers and practitioners. Still, there is a reasonable degree of ambiguity regarding the concept. In fact, the term is often used as an umbrella for many types of programs and interventions from distinct areas such as school, public health, mental health or character education, addressing the vulnerability of children and youth to various social and psychological problems. What is more, topics covered under the SEL umbrella are diverse as follows: emotions, cognition (including multiple intelligences), motivation, socialization in schools and families, and self-regulation and its effects.

Book Description
This open access volume critically reviews a diverse body of scholarship and practice that informs the conceptualization, curriculum, teaching and measurement of life skills in education settings around the world. It discusses life skills as they are implemented in schools and non-formal education, providing both qualitative and quantitative evidence of when, with whom, and how life skills do or do not impact young women’s and men’s lives in various contexts. Specifically, it examines the nature and importance of life skills, and how they are taught. It looks at the synergies and differences between life skills educational programmes and the way in which they promote social and emotional learning, vocational/employment education, and health and sexuality education. Finally, it explores how life skills may be better incorporated into education and how such education can address structures and relations of power to help youth achieve desired future outcomes, and goals set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Life skills education has gained considerable attention by education policymakers, researchers and educators as being the sine qua non for later achievements in life. It is nearly ubiquitous in global and national education policies, including the SDGs, because life skills are regarded as essential for a diverse set of purposes: reducing poverty, achieving gender equality, promoting economic growth, addressing climate change, fostering peace and global citizenship, and creating sustainable and healthy communities. Yet, to achieve these broad goals, questions persist as to which life skills are important, who needs to learn them, how they can be taught, and how they are best measured. This book addresses these questions.
