EDUT 5233 Students' Social-Emotional Skills
Exploring and Measuring Students' Social-Emotional Skills
Educators agree: social emotional learning is foundational to students’ education, but how can we measure what students know about SEL against what they still need to learn? This course will take you through the foundations, concepts, and history of SEL to inform your teaching practice. Then, move beyond the basics and gather with a colleague to discuss how data can be used to measure students’ SEL strengths. Develop an assessment strategy and “make a case” for including SEL skills and assessments in schools and curriculum. You will leave the course with strong foundational SEL knowledge along with learning how developing students’ social emotional learning skills will lead to their happiness and success.
