Social & Emotional Learning Series
At The Master Teacher, we define social and emotional learning as helping students develop the skills to think, learn, and communicate in ways that allow them to discover the power they have within themselves to develop their potential and make choices that enhance the quality of their lives, relationships, and experiences.
Now, more than ever, we understand that students' needs to belong and feel emotionally safe are essential for effective learning. These courses equip teachers with highly effective, research-backed techniques and skills to support these critical aspects of student development.
Each course includes an automatically graded posttest, with transcripts and course certificates available for users to document their training.
