Social and emotional learning, or SEL, programs have flourished in schools during the last decade. While this growth has been impressive, inadequate attention has been paid to teachers’ social and emotional learning. In this course Dan Liston and Randy Testa introduce you to various rationales for why teacher SEL is needed as well as examine and reflect on various emotions in teaching and learning.
Syllabus:
- Week 1: Why SEL and the teacher? - introduction of SEL is and why it is important for all teachers.
- Week 2: What does teaching do to teachers? - discussing the need for the teacher to enhance her/his knowledge of self, especially his/her emotional responses as well as deeply held beliefs.
- Week 3: Sadness and despair in teaching - The value of reflection on and examination of sadness, despair, and related emotions in teaching
- Week 4: Joy, passion, and enjoyment in teaching - The value of reflection on and examination of joy and passion, as well as other related emotions in teaching
- Week 5: Grit and wholeness in teaching - By contrasting “grit” and “wholeness” in teaching and learning we explore further the value we as individuals place on these two orienting dispositions
