Why teach social thinking? : questioning our assumptions about what it means to learn social skills / by Michelle Garcia Winner. Social Thinking : Think Social Pub., c2013.

Description: "Through12 questions that challenge us to think more deeply about how we view social intelligence, she illuminates the connection between social thinking, academic success, and later success in life as an adult, and how social emotional learning is linked to the Common Core Standards. She explores the complex development of our social minds and the common assumptions about social learning that impact the way we teach students. Topics span various aspects of social learning, from the need for a common definition for 'social skills'--something that doesn't exist in today's educational sector--to evidence-based practices and how they apply to teaching social thinking and related social skills."--from publisher website.
