| Description: In this course, educators will engage with the principles of social and emotional learning (SEL) with a lens on how they can integrate these concepts into their work as teachers: building classroom community, teaching students to resolve their own conflicts, and helping their students develop compassion for others including those of different identities and backgrounds than their own. In relation to advocacy and teacher leadership, they will also explore some of the opposition and barriers to SEL, as well as effective arguments in support of SEL at a policy and "systems" level. Educators will strengthen their instruction and advocacy in equity-based, culturally responsive, and trauma-sensitive practices explored through case studies, instructional strategies, reflection, and development of a portfolio that applies their new knowledge to their specific teaching context. |
