In addressing the role of the school, Skills for Social Progress holds that it is not necessary to carve valuable time out of the school day to teach social and emotional skills in isolation; instead, these skills can be effectually developed within existing subjects by “introducing projectbased work that involves dynamic and interactive problem solving based on real-life problems” (p. 85)
The authors of Skills for Social Progress missed an opportunity to present readers with a ready-made, -implementable solution to the question: How do we teach social and emotional skills? The answer is to look to our technology and engineering classrooms
