Making Education (Double) Count
Boosting Student Learning via Social and Emotional Learning and New Media Literacy Skills
By Laurel Felt
July 29, 2010
Schools and afterschool programs must devote more attention to fostering what we call the new media literacies: a set of cultural competencies and social skills that young people need in the new media landscape. Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement.
Jenkins, Purushotma, Clinton, Weigel, and Robinson, 2006, p. 4.
Participatory, engagement-driven activities that tap and foster social and emotional learning (SEL) and new media literacies (NML) meaningfully enrich students' learning of the basics as well as boost physical wellness and social functioning.
Social and emotional learning (SEL) comprises self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Notable programs such as Lions Quest Skills for Life, Paths (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies), and School Connect offer lessons in: recognizing and managing stress; interpreting facial cues and body language; problem-solving; resisting bullying; identifying personal strengths and challenges; and setting goals.
Skeptics may dismiss such lessons as artifacts of a toothless, politically correct, "touchy-feely" era. But empirical research has found that pursuing competency in these areas allows one to build a solid base, to establish the intrapersonal and interpersonal support networks necessary for holistic health and achievement. Evaluators of SEL programs have found that "... social-emotional competence and academic achievement are interwoven and that integrated, coordinated instruction in both areas maximizes students' potential to succeed in school and throughout their lives" (Zins and Elias, 2006, p. 1). In other words, SEL mastery facilitates and amplifies both book smarts and street smarts

Andrés Bello
Andrés de Jesús María y José Bello López (November 29, 1781 – October 15, 1865) was a Venezuelan humanist, poet, lawmaker, philosopher, educator and philologist, whose political and literary works constitute an important part of Spanish American culture. Bello is featured on the old 2,000 Venezuelan bolívar and the 20,000 Chilean peso notes. There is also a decoration, the Venezuelan Order of Andrés Bello.
Bello studied Liberal Arts, Law and Medicine at the University of Caracas and graduated on May 9, 1800 with a degree of Bachelor of Arts. He later became known for his early writings and translations, edited the newspaper Gazeta de Caracas and held important offices in the government of the Captaincy General of Venezuela. He accompanied Alexander von Humboldt in a part of his Latin American expedition (1800) and was for a short time Simón Bolívar's teacher.[1] His relationships with both men became a major factor in cultivating his ideas for his intellectual career. The United Kingdom availed the services of Admiral Sir Thomas John Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, Marquês do Maranhão, GCB, RN [Royal Navy] (14 December 1775 - 31 October 1860) to serve the Independence of Venezuela.[2]
Bello spent ten years after his formal education in his homeland of Caracas. He authored two pieces of literary work, Calendario manual y guia universal de forastero en Venezuela para el ano de 1810 and the Resumen de historia de Venezuela [3].
Both works became widely accepted in Venezuela, and from this point Bello started his career as a poet. As time progressed, Bello further expanded his notions on humanism and conservatism. From his theories and ideas, Bello was eventually hailed as one of the foremost humanists of his time.
