Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has become an essential component of school. This course helps to understand how emotions affect learning and why SEL must be included in the curriculum. Defining emotions is difficult. However, it is necessary to have some understanding of what the term means. The course provides a summary of how some experts define emotions and feelings. The process of learning- i.e how the information is taken in, transported to the brain, and processed in the brain is explained in easy-to-understand terms. How the emotions affect this process is discussed. The course then discusses the skills that must be included in any SEL program and provides sample activities included in SEL programs. The goals for this course are to have participants understand the process of learning- how information is carried to the brain and how the brain responds and to understand how emotions affect this process of learning. Also the course will provide information that will allow the student to improve his/her methods of teaching by enhancing the emotional climate of the learning environment. * Document your course completion with an online certificate (additional shipping/handling charges apply for hard copy delivery).
