Spécialisation The Teacher and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

SEL (social and emotional learning) programs have exploded in popularity in schools during the last decade. These programs differ in many ways, but they consistently focus on five specific student competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, interpersonal skills, and responsible decision-making. It's critical that teachers and parents are aware of and understand these initiatives. While many SEL programs focus on K-12 student social and emotional development, there is just a handful that encourages and assist teachers in exploring their own emotional well-being.

The teachers (Randy Testa and Dan Liston, as well as Emily Price and Ben Kirshner) in Specialization, "The Teacher and SEL," look at the kindergarten through high school SEL initiatives, examining both established programs and less well-known community-based and youth empowerment methods. Along with this assessment of K-12 SEL programs, the course places a strong emphasis on the well-being of teachers.

Students will apply what they've learned in class to construct a 'Teacher Implementation Plan,' which will focus on establishing student or teacher SELprograms, or a movie project that will look at student and teacher SEL implications in educationally oriented films.

What you will learn:

• Effectively implement social emotional learning programs within their school communities.
• Understand and communicate the principles and advantages of social and emotional learning for both students and teachers to their school leadership.
