Education

On the importance of social & emotional learning

Posted by

Not as often as I would like, I write posts (with the help of friends) at a blog called Teaching Redemptively. Our desire is to explore the space we like to call “teaching redemptively” or “grace-based education.”

I just wrote a post over there about a recent research study that suggests emotional & social skills are actually vital to classroom success.  (Duh.) I think it’s all related to the reality of our humanity which underlies any educational endeavor…..but more on that at the TR blog…..

Social & Emotional Learning

I write. I design. I read and think. I teach. I talk to people -- all kinds of people. My career journey includes working as a librarian, teaching for over a decade, working in higher education, freelancing as a graphic designer and marketing consultant, and earning a doctorate (as of 2022). My dream job would cross-pollinate the skills of barista and consultant, helping individuals and organizations understand the problems they face, ask better questions, and design solutions that work in their contexts. My research interests include improving STEM education in college classrooms, Design Thinking and human-centered design, relational and collective theories of leadership, knowledge life cycles within organizations, and faculty development. Somewhere back in time, my students started calling me "RameyLady" and the name stuck.
