Mini-Course Description
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is for educators like you who want practical methods for applying SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) concepts to themselves, their students, and their curriculum. This will help them create the best conditions for learning and take concrete steps to improve mental health.

WHAT WILL YOU GET?
You'll learn how to foster and embed SEL concepts into your curriculum, not someone else's, so you can keep what's yours and add what's meaningful. In addition to a Certificate of Completion, you'll walk away from this course with greater knowledge and recognition of SEL competencies in your students and yourself, a curriculum that supports SEL, and practical ways to foster these skills using interactive, experiential learning activities that can be easily adapted to any age group.

WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
A meta-analysis of over 200,000 students has demonstrated that students participating in SEL programs show increased academic performance, improved classroom behavior, an increased ability to manage stress and depression, and better attitudes about themselves, others, and school. (Durlak et al., 2011)

Learning Intentions

• Participants will be knowledgeable about Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) skills and the role they play in academic and lifelong success.
• Participants will be able to implement activities and model SEL skills to foster skill development through active learning.
• Participants will be able to modify their own syllabus to incorporate SEL skills practice into their content area (learned during the Application Course).
