Social Emotional Learning Best Practices-Independent Study Course

Educators must develop and continue to refine their skills in social-emotional learning (SEL). Students need not only knowledge of academic content but also knowledge of themselves and how to interact with others.

SEL is not a separate program or discipline but rather is a way of teaching students to lead and connect for both academic success and emotional well-being.

This introductory course provides basic information about social-emotional learning practices in the classroom. Its intention is to begin an educator on a path of considering how to include the development of these competencies in their school settings.
