This OSPI module is designed for educators and administrators as a means to help them build and improve their understanding of social-emotional skills.  

Although the online module can be completed by an individual, the learning is significantly more impactful if it is done collectively by those who will be implementing SEL.  Throughout the online module, suggestions on ways in which to engage in the learning in a group setting are provided.

Each learning segment is meant to be self-directed or facilitated within a group setting.  The segments contain a wealth of information that allows you as the learner to guide the experience.  You are encouraged to start and stop at the points that are the most relevant to you and work within a timeframe that fits your schedule.  You can save your work and return to the learning segment at another time.  The minimum amount of time to complete the basic module, not including all the additional resources and activities, is approximately ten hours (two hours per learning segment).  To encourage deep learning and application of the skills, BSD teachers will be allowed to earn up to twenty hours (four hours per learning segment).  We encourage all BSD educators to access and utilize all of the additional resources as it will provide a more comprehensive and robust understanding of SEL and the essential role it plays in our classrooms.   

The course was created on the Moodle platform.  Although it is free of charge, you must still register for a Moodle account.  

Please note that each of the five Learning Segments that make up the SEL Online Education Module are separate courses.  Please register separately for Learning Segment 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
