Social and emotional learning, or SEL, student programs have flourished in schools during the last decade. Unfortunately inadequate attention has been paid to teachers’ social and emotional learning. In this course the instructors (Randy Testa and Dan Liston) introduce and examine distinct and established teacher SEL programs, as well as some alternative possibilities. This course is a part of the 5-course Specialization “The Teacher and Social Emotional Learning (SEL)”.

We want to note that the courses in this Specialization were designed with a three-credit university course load in mind. As a participant you may notice a bit more reading content and a little less video/lecture content. Completing and passing the SEL Specialization allows the participant to apply for 3 graduate credits toward teacher re-certification and professional enhancement. We want to ensure the quality and high standards of a University of Colorado learning experience.

The content was valuable and relevant for our current times. I highly recommend this for anyone who works with young people and those looking for ways to improve our education system.
I would have wanted to look deeper in the programs and possible ways in which educators can embed SEL in their teaching and practice.
This was my very first Coursera course and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
This is a great course which encourage teachers to be helpful with pupils emotionally and socially..
What a wonderful journey of learning and understanding.
This course was very good. I enjoy the topic because I believe that social emotional learning needs to take place for children and teachers and parents together
The course was thought provoking and easy to follow. I am hoping it will be easy to get a certificate that shows the hours as it is needed for my PD.
It was a very good experience as I wish that whoever is gonna take this course, kindly apply it in your practical life :)

I love the material. Hated the quiz for Module 4 week 2. One of the questions had multiple answers but this was not indicated in the question. I had to take the quiz over 15X before just throwing in both answers.

Highly insightful course, yet I feel there was some monotony created due to the heavy reading. I made notes and had to take a break of a few days to get back to the intense reading. Was really overwhelmed by the reading.
This course is relevant in every aspect of one's life, whether teaching, working in human resources, or leading a company as a CEO. The courses teach the value of community involvement for success in school from teachers, parents, principals, and government participation. We learn to meet people where they are in life; acknowledging the individuality of each student based on their cultural upbringing, lifestyle, traumas, successes, etc.
aunque este en ingles tiene subtitulos en epañol y eso hace q ponga un poco mas de esfuerzo por lo cual es bueno. a lo q voy es q me gusto este reto de conocer un poco de todo y me hace reflexionar que tengo que poner mucho mas empatia, comprension amabilidad para que los pequeños obrengan confianza en mi persona para acercarse y contar lo que ocurre alrededor de ellos sin miedo que puedan ser juzgados
The readings for this course were exceptional, although I had trouble accessing one of the documents. I learned a lot in this course, and much of what I know is inspiring ideas for changes I would like to implement on my practice during this coming school year.
The lessons were very informative, easily understood and the presentations were attractive. I would be much grateful for all the lectures and support staff, for their endless endeavours to make this course a success. Thank you so much.
This course empower and helps me change my perspective about how I look kids and parents, how they have to get involve at school, workteam, collaboration and how SEL is the best tool to achieve it.
