Social and Emotional Learning in Action

The Resolving Conflict Creatively Program helps develop emotional intelligence in Brooklyn inner-city fifth graders.

February 21, 2001

Editor's Note: Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP) co-founder Linda Lantieri is now director of the Inner Resilience Program and a program consultant with CASEL. (Read an Edutopia.org interview with Lantieri about defusing stress in children.)

Teacher Sarah Button no longer teaches in the New York City Public Schools, but the RCCP is still in place at Patrick F. Daly School. More information about the RCCP can be found at the Educators for Social Responsibility website.
