Micro-Credential: Foundations and Applications of SEL

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has taken schools, communities, and parents/caregivers by storm over the past few years with great reason: SEL supports academic achievement, improves student well-being, builds skills that are key to future readiness, and improves school climate and safety. This is a 5-part, 15-hour professional development series (from October 2024 to February 2025) for anyone who works with young people within schools, communities, and third spaces who is seeking a more expansive lens of each SEL core competency and a greater understanding of how to apply these principles to your own work.

Participants of the course will:

• Understand and effectively apply the five core competencies of social emotional learning identified by the Collaborative for Academic and Social Emotional Learning (CASEL).
• Practice peer facilitation and connect each of the five core competencies to key settings in your
  community
• Develop a deeper understanding of how to apply SEL principles to your own work through a self-guided project-based learning experience
