    About the Course

    Social and emotional learning, or SEL, programs have flourished in schools during the last decade. In this course the instructors (Emily Price
    and Ben Kirshner) introduce and help you examine community based and youth-empowerment approaches to social and emotional learning.
    Some of these approaches address the impact of social and political systems, such as immigration and structural racism, on children’s social

    Eye-opening content regarding biases, cultural difference and racism. An interactive course that really makes you reevaluate your teaching.

    At the time I was taking this course, there were major social issues erupting in our country. This course reminded me how the education system was designed, by whom and for whom. As we move forward as a society, considerations for diversity among students, teachers and methodology must be taken into account to be able to provide good educational services for all kids. It's a tall order however if educational systems could take more of an agile approach, like so many other industries do, it could serve all stakeholders better in the long run. Learning can be fun and interesting when it's not presented in a rote way or slanted towards one particular ethnic or cultural group.

    I liked how this course focused on breaking down the 5 core competencies of SEL and how they relate to justice and injustice - namely - who was SEL "meant" for, and how do these tenets serve and leave behind students that come from varied backgrounds? I enjoyed reading and the questions that were posed - I have begun to think more critically about how I can serve as a witness to the stories of my students and support them in more nuanced ways.

    this was a great course that was easily accessed and valued my time and expertise as a veteran teacher. I found that my teaching style was not only validated, but also increased with new ideas that I could use when school starts this fall.

    A chapter about the critical understanding of SEL. It's more than just 5 core competencies, it's about making an impact in your community.

    This was a good and super important course that emphasized the need for acknowledging our own biases as teachers and encouraging listening and honoring the experiences and knowledge of our students. I was hoping for more engaging videos.

    The course has way to many readings, I wish the mode of imparting knowledge can be more flexible. There was a monotony created. Other then that, the course was definitely very insightful.

    I thought the readings were interesting but felt there were other resources available as well that could have been more pertinent to the course objectives.
