EDD 704 Foundations of Social & Emotional Learning
This course is the first course addressing social and emotional learning (SEL). In completing this foundational course, students will establish an understanding of the history of the field of emotion science, the current SEL research, and related foundations of neuroscience. Looking through the lens of 21st-century societal context and challenges in education, as developing "emotion scientists and practitioners", students will integrate learnings to explore and develop their personal SEL skill set and competencies, as well as examine potential applications of foundational learning to SEL problems of practice in their own contexts.
