The need for enhanced social and emotional learning is rapidly expanding. With a goal to help students develop positive skills, attitudes, and behaviors, districts have made SEL a core pillar of curriculum.

As SEL skills become a more prominent fixture in classrooms, teachers have been empowered to close achievement gaps and improve overall academic performance. How can you create a foundation for healthier social relationships and improved academic achievement?

In this free micro course, you will:

• Explore the short-term and long-term effects of SEL instruction using a framework that helps promote intrapersonal, interpersonal, and cognitive competence with students.

• Dive deep into effective SEL practices that can be facilitated both in school and at home.

• Discover various methods for collecting data so that you can properly measure student growth.

Upon completion of this micro-course, you will receive a certificate from Advancement Courses notating your 3 PD hours earned.

Applicability of professional development hours varies from state to state. Please follow your district or governing body’s approval process to verify acceptance. Though we are an approved provider in IL, MT, NY, PA, and WA, these states require additional PD reporting not available in our micro courses.
