Social Emotional Learning Resources
The College of Education is committed to teaching our candidates about social emotional learning. We are committed to a Just, Equitable, and Inclusive Education (JEIE), which acknowledges, recognizes, and respects the knowledge and strengths all students bring from their communities. Social emotional learning is an integral component of inclusive education. We have curated resources that support the knowledge and application of social emotional learning in teaching and learning at all levels of education.
We are pleased to share webinars created by the College of Education faculty that focus on Social Emotional Learning strategies for teachers. The webinars are freely available on YouTube.
