Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) for Successful Schools

Table of Contents

Description

Today’s educators know that the key to optimal learning lies in creating a school community that supports, teaches, and models Emotional and Social Intelligence.

Our students face a world of complex relationships that require them to identify and manage their emotions, interact constructively with others, understand healthy boundaries, and take responsibility. These “intelligences”, as described by Daniel Goleman, can be incorporated into our teaching practices through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) methods and strategies.

Through the framework of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), course participants will gain a deeper understanding of the impact of SEL and steps to implement it.

Through practical and experiential activities, course members will deepen their own self-awareness, empathy, and social skills, which will enrich their own Social and Emotional Intelligence. Concrete tools and strategies for conflict management, stress reduction, and resilience will empower the group to not only do SEL activities but to be an SEL educator.

Each participant will develop their own course of action for promoting SEL in their school, through reflection, experience, sharing, and creating the path that best fits their unique school community, in a highly interactive, engaging learning experience.

Learning outcomes

The course will help the participants to:

  • Understand and implement aspects of the CASEL integrated framework;
  • Gain greater emotional and social literacy;
  • Experience an SEL environment first-hand;
  • Increase self-awareness, empathy, resilience, and assertiveness;
  • Implement strategies for effective communication, Mindfulness, and collaboration in a tailor-made program to bring home;
  • Immerse themselves in an environment of empowerment that will enable participants to continue generating a culture of SEL in their own schools.
