Imagine you must construct a building. When is the right time for you and your team to consider preparedness for natural disasters such as earthquakes? You’d want to design the building with a proper foundation to absorb shock waves and remain standing, and you’d want an emergency response plan just in case the worst were to happen. A proactive approach with a built-in back-up plan is preferable to a solely reactive one. The same goes for social-emotional learning (SEL) instruction in schools.
