Everyday Teaching Activities for Social Emotional Learning
This 5 week asynchronous book study will guide you in understanding the components of social, emotional learning (SEL) and character development (SECD). You will discover innovative techniques to integrate the 5 social emotional learning competencies:
Self-awareness
Self-management
Social awareness
Relationship management
Responsible decision with strategies in the domains of:
Self and social awareness
empathy and perspective taking
self-regulation and communication
relationship skills and social problem solving for tapping into the newly revised NY SEL Learning Benchmarks
You will learn the basic steps for how to develop the relevant skills that form an SEL approach to learning while also strengthening your class climate for students to demonstrate empathy, respectful communication, self-control, improved relationships and reduce conflict. Participants will leave with a deepened awareness for shifting to a proactive stance for building behavioral reflection and self-monitoring opportunities into a problem-solving framework. Through this work you will discover how SEL can provide the foundation for sustaining a culturally responsive, safe and positive classroom environment that nurtures and affirms a strong sense of identity and purpose for learning.
NOTE: Participants will need to obtain a copy of the book, Nurturing Students’ Behavior- Everyday Teaching Activities for Social-Emotional Learning, by Jeffrey S. Kress and Maurice J. Elias, prior to the start of the course.
