The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning

The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) is a national resource center out of Vanderbilt University for disseminating research and evidence-based practices to early childhood programs. CSEFEL is focused on promoting the social-emotional development and school readiness of young children from birth to age 5. Though the focus is early childhood, these resources will be useful for early elementary teachers as well. The website's resources page contains many ideas for literature-based lessons and strategies for supporting positive social and emotional development and classroom management.
