Lesson Planning with Purpose takes the theory behind the way we teach and helps teachers develop practical ways to implement the covered approaches. Each chapter includes the theoretical background which breaks down the "why" or the purpose behind our teaching. In my role as a Social & Emotional Learning specialist, I seek to find ways to integrate SEL into the content areas. The chapter on ISEL allows me to help teachers use the templates to create a lesson plan that works to meet their students' academic and social and emotional needs. - Ashlea Campbell
