Pathways to Social and Emotional Development (P2SED)

Pathways to Social and Emotional Development (P2SED) is a professional resource for educators. This package describes a continuum of social and emotional development for children from the time of conception to late adolescence and seeks to assist teachers in understanding how this development affects learning and learning outcomes.

Overview
