"We focus so much on academics that we're losing sight of the real problem, and we keep trying to put these students that might be round pegs into square holes."- Richard TrottaThis week on The Dash, Richard Trotta, the director of the Center for Citizenship and Social Responsibility, an after-school program that focuses on leadership skills, talks to me about the CCSR, the merits of project-based learning, and how he was able to set up this program. Richard has been an educator for over 40 years and has great insight into what SEL development means not only for students, but also their communities.For more information about the Center for Citizenship and Social Responsibility, go to www.medfordccsr.org
