ABSTRACT
So, the future of SEL. How can this book’s authors foretell the future of this complex discipline? As you will see, most of the predictions offered in this chapter are based on new, research-based facts. 1 The rest result from educated hopefulness on our part. What is clear is that the beginnings of a tidal wave of support for SEL can be discerned in scholarly journals, professional blogs, newspaper articles, on the agenda of parent-teacher organizations, and in conversations along the sidelines at school sports events. 2 But for the present, there are some serious impediments, too.
