SEL-7500 - Involving Caregivers and Communities

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

Opportunities for social emotional learning (SEL) exist throughout the human lifespan. While other courses have considered the roles of caregivers and communities, this course focuses on these roles and how SEL initiatives should reflect the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion across environments. You will examine available models and specific strategies for extending SEL beyond the classroom, explore community benefits from SEL, and consider partnerships that could support SEL efforts. You will also investigate the types of data you would need to assess SEL initiatives beyond the classroom.
