Social Emotional Learning

Social emotional learning (SEL) is a methodology that helps students better comprehend and manage their emotions as well as demonstrate empathy for others. Through those learned behaviors, students make positive, responsible decisions; create frameworks to achieve their goals; and build positive relationships with others.

Our Professional Learning Series in Social Emotional Learning is provides educators a foundation in SEL principles and teaches the knowledge and skills to weave SEL core competencies into curriculum, classroom activities and student and parent engagement.

Our coursework is rooted in the concepts of educational equity and excellence and seeks to help educators build learning environments and experiences based on trust and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and safety and inclusiveness in the classroom.

Our series in Social Emotional Learning includes three graduate-level courses. One course in the series is offered each fall, spring and summer semester to allow most educators to complete the coursework within a year. Courses may be taken in any sequence.
