Welcome to the first ever scan of social and emotional learning content in teacher preparation programs!
In the video clip above, Patricia Jennings, Nancy Markowitz and Kimberly Schonert-Reichl present their ideas about how to advance the science and practice of social and emotional learning in teacher education and development at the American Educational Research Association 2012 Annual Meeting. The researchers discuss how social and emotional learning can serve as a framework for educating, where teachers are able to manage their own stress and be mindful of students' physical and emotional well-being in the classroom.
New teachers should be given both the research and the practical experiences in classroom settings with skilled teachers to practice implementing and embedding social and emotional learning in the classroom context. It is important that students in teacher preparation programs are shown how to effectively implement social and emotional learning by educators who model it in a competent and positive way.
There is a growing body of research that points to educators as key in cultivating social and emotional abilities in children. Teachers' own behavior and relationships with children, the caring context in the school and classroom, and the explicit instruction of social and emotional competencies can all foster students' social and emotional development. These three components are addressed in the SEL T-Ed Project, as researchers complete a scan of colleges of education in the United States and Canada to determine how social and emotional learning is currently being taught and implemented.
