Concise, well-structured and easy to digest!

This course provides a very interesting overview of the many different SEL courses currently in use, and offers practical advice on how to choose ones that suit one's own classroom. The current field of SEL is rather new, so many strategies are being tried, and results are not always clear, so this MOOC helps makes some sense of it all.

Excellent

I found this course very informative and I appreciated how week 4 and 5 were split into elementary and middle/high school. As an elementary teacher, I found it very interesting to read and watch the videos about SEL in middle and high school. It as interesting to see how SEL can continue on past elementary school.

This course provided insight in to the reasons social emotional learning is vital for students' success in life, and provided many data points to support SEL as an academic positive, as well.

Good connection to what is happening in classrooms at this moment.

Excellent information about students self awareness, social awareness, self management, interpersonal relationships and problem solving. Research based instruction from UC-Boulder. Awesome course.

Thank you so much. Very informative and current. I truly enjoy the lectures and the readings. Maria

As the course progresses the information regarding the different SEL programs for Elementary, Middle and High School was in depth and informative. Our school has been using Mind Up with good results but just as the articles emphasized it needs to be implemented with fidelity. The SEL competencies also need to be modeled by teachers and I appreciate the findings in the article Review of Classroom Based SEL Programs for Middle School that "Attention to teachers should include investigation of setting-level supports, teaching practices, and teacher social emotional competencies, teaching practices, and motivation as correlates of the quality of implementation of the the SEL program and eventual impact on students." I will definitely recommend this class to my colleagues.

I love this course about the heart of teaching.

very informative and user friendly

Very interesting and applicable to my professional context

Perfect.It was very useful for me .I recommend you.

Wonderful and thorough overview of an incredibly interesting subject. Thank you!

Excellent course! I would highly recommend!

The content was very interesting and I appreciated the evidence based studies along with the research presentation, videos and summaries.

lot of differenc readings, reals life examples, well structured

Too academic with little connection to the real world. Quizzes are read and memorize versus providing a link to the practical environment. This was the second class in the specialization. Unfortunately, it is my last.
