ED 591 - Building Effective School Culture for Social Emotional Development

This course introduces students to research and structures supportive of building cultures to support social and emotional learning (SEL) and development in K-12 school settings. This course supports the development of research-based theories and practice to engage educators in developing deep knowledge about creating a shared and central vision to support all aspects of social and academic development to best educate the whole child.
This course provides a process and structure for educators and faculty to demonstrate knowledge of the research concepts and competencies as well as the strategies needed to apply competency knowledge in school-and district-based planning. The products of this seminar will be tangible evidence of an articulated vision, process for defining cultural and research-based expectations, and development of plans to support a clear and articulated
vision of social emotional development and embedded structures. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of theory, research, and practice in social emotional education to build sustainable and supportive educational cultures.
