The case for adding prosocial education to current education policy: Preparing students for the tests of life, not just a life of tests
2013
Overview
This article presents the case for prosocial education as: 1) being the right of every student, parent, and teacher; 2) providing a systemic evidence-based process designed to enhance school attachment, promote social development, and increase academic success; and 3) offering a necessary foundation for effective educational policy. We develop the idea of prosocial education in the context of U.S. education and its challenges; however, we also show how it can be a useful framework to organize school improvement efforts in different nations as well as to inform educational policy for any nation. We illustrate how helping educators create positive, stimulating classrooms and schools, and effectively integrate prosocial ideas into daily practices, develops students physically, socially, behaviorally, ethically, emotionally, and intellectually, providing the competencies essential to become citizens committed to contributing to the common good.
