EDU 746 - SEL - Building a Classroom into a Community (3)


Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. This course is designed to teach educators the importance that social emotional wellness plays in the academic, social and behavioral development of children and youth. Research based programs, specifically the CASEL MODEL, and practices will be highlighted. Educators will develop an understanding of assessments, interventions, instructional strategies, and resources related to resilience and social emotional wellness. Educators will learn how to build a community within their classrooms that incorporates trust, respect, empathy, gratitude, responsibility, and connectedness. Through connectedness, K-12 students will develop independence and social responsibility within the community.
