With many students transitioning to remote learning this year,social-emotional learning in educationhas become even more essential for any discipline, and that includes science.

In fall 2019, HMH staff participated in a training conducted by theCollaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), which guided the team and inspired the company to embed SEL best practices into materials, including HMH’s soon-to-be-releasedHMH Into ScienceK-5 program.
