EMPOWERING SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL): Theory to Practice
Course No. ED471g, ED571g
Many students lack the social and emotional skills that lead to success in work, community, and family life.

- What does SEL encompass and why is it important
- What various SEL classrooms can look like
- Creating an emotionally safe environment
- Resolving student conflicts using peer mediation
- How to tap student assets
- Content accommodations for special needs
- Cooperative and collaborative learning
- Fostering community and world connections through service learning
- Nurturing students to become self-directed learners
- Cognitive and emotional engagement through projects
