| Course Description: This course will empower educators to successfully address the daunting task of cultivating empathy and social harmony in K-12 classrooms. Discussion and assignments incorporate critical conscious texts and strategies that can be used to foster acceptance and understanding for diverse individuals and promote social-emotional learning (SEL) on topics including race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economic status. Through the information provided in this class, educators will be given the tools to implement social-emotional learning in their instruction, as well as methods to support their students socially, emotionally, and academically creating positive and nurturing learning environments and cultures. Further, participants will discuss how to appropriately integrate critical consciousness with their students, adopting the mindset, and to have that dialogue within the classroom. Additionally, student grouping, instructional practices, etc., regarding cultural responsiveness will be discussed as well. This course is also beneficial to all educators that work in the school, not just the traditional classroom, but counselors, psychologists, and those working within the small group and/or alternative settings |
