Social and Emotional Learning Minor
Social and Emotional Learning Minor
The Social & Emotional Learning Minor is composed of 21-24 credits of course work and 3 workshops which are embedded into the ELEMECML 3186 seminar. The goal of the minor program is to support elementary and secondary educators becoming leaders in their schools and communities in the area of Social & Emotional Learning (SEL). Early Childhood majors should work with a CATS advisor if interested in this minor. Students who complete this minor will have a deeper understanding of how to create safe spaces for all students, promote empathy, engage in and teach well-being practices, support student self-awareness, and facilitate shared decision-making.
