""In this book, Mo Elias, who has done so much already to advance the theory and practice of social-emotional learning and wed it with corresponding work in character education, weaves together a range of powerful approaches and methods for creating the kinds of classrooms and schools where students can optimally learn and flourish. Ranging across SEL, classroom climate, teacher wellness, growth mindset, and other powerful approaches, he crafts a tapestry of practical ways for educators to rethink and redesign education."" —Marvin W Berkowitz, Ph.D., Founders Professor of Education and UM System Thomas Jefferson Fellow in the Center for Character and Citizenship at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, USA
