Course Description
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has gained popularity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Without critical analysis of these educational frameworks through a lens of equity, SEL could be building more barriers than bridges. This workshop will provide a critical lens at the way SEL has been trending and what to look for to ensure that its implementation is culturally responsive, anti-biased, and anti-racist.
