Infusing CLR Into SEL Workshop: Creating a SEL Curriculum for All Students
About Course
This workshop gives educators an overview of what culturally responsive social-emotional learning encompasses. Critical Social Consciousness (CSC) SEL uses the students’ cultural backgrounds (including ethnic, gender, economic, linguistic, etc.) as the starting point for developing social-emotional skills. The foundation of this process is based on understanding our cultural similarities and differences, which then leads to our developing a critical social consciousness about the world around us. This process supports us in critically looking at the ways in which our world, communities, and schools operate and the different ways in which people are viewed and treated within each of those places. The students then are able to move to make responsible decisions that can change those inequities that are a part of our society.
