TIEL Institute

The TIEL Institute offers a uniquely balanced approach to learning and teaching that addresses the requirements of 21st century education. Teaching for Intellectual and Emotional Learning (TIEL) brings together the intellectual and social-emotional components of learning and teaching.

Publications

Create excitement for learning. Four classroom teachers learn to plan project-based curriculum that includes the explicit teaching of thinking as well as social-emotional learning.

"TIEL makes all the difference. You need to have the framework. I need to have it in order to categorize and sort and scaffold and give myself a framework to go back on. I think it's critical."
