Social Emotional Learning in Washington State Schools: Building Foundations and Strategies.

The intent of the module is to support teachers, administrators, and school staff in developing social emotional learning (SEL) understanding and awareness. In addition, the module explains how to implement and integrate SEL into their respective contexts in a culturally responsive way.  

There are seven (7) segments in the Social Emotional Learning Online Module.

Learning Segment 3: Creating a professional culture based on SEL (SEL3)

Objectives:

1.  Educators will identify the importance of adults' social emotional competencies by exploring ways to engage in self-care that reduces stress and overload for self and colleagues.
2. Participants will learn how to describe the role that cultural responsiveness and implicit bias play in daily interactions, and reflect on professional learning systems and supports to strengthen culturally responsive SEL practices in school.
3. Participants will create action steps to communicate with family and community members in a culturally responsive manner.

Note: There is no time limit or specific times when you may access the SEL modules — work at your own pace. The start and end date are not reflective of when the course begins.
