This course focuses on the importance of integrating social-emotional learning in the classroom to foster skills that support success. Participants explore seven social-emotional competencies: self-awareness, self-management, self-care, responsible decision-making, social-awareness, relationship skills, and social-sensing, along with their corresponding components that focus on topics such as emotions, strengths, stress management, self-discipline, resilience, mindfulness, visible thinking, problem-solving, empathy, perspective-taking, communication, teamwork, social justice, and global citizenship to name a few. Classroom-applicable strategies and activities for establishing a social-emotional classroom culture and fostering each of the social-emotional competencies are modeled so that educators can maximize students' learning, personal growth, and success. The course also addresses the compelling whys for social-emotional learning and delves into trauma-informed teaching and the corresponding SEL interventions.
