EDN 516 - Prosocial Behavioral Perspectives

Educators are in constant need for skills to manage maladaptive behaviors in the classroom. This course is designed to demystify and reframe behavior in the classroom in order for educators to foster prosocial behaviors and social emotional learning with intention. Students will learn about the effects of prosocial behavior on student achievement and how to promote empathy, community, belonging, conflict resolution, and restorative practices in their classrooms. Students will use course readings, discussions, reflections, and research to understand theories behind prosocial behavior and how it reinforces social emotional learning.
