Course Description

Credit Validation for Ed3 Participants Only

This course builds a practical foundation for weaving Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into daily classroom life, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a thoughtful support partner. Grounded in the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) competency framework, educators explore why SEL matters, how emotional intelligence drives meaningful competency development, and what it looks like to implement SEL schoolwide. Across the modules, educators engage in AI-supported self-assessment, scenario-based emotional response practice, and classroom routine design while keeping human judgment, relationships, and learner safety at the center. By the end, participants will walk away with concrete SEL classroom routines ready for immediate use and a clearer understanding of when, why, and how AI can support their practice.

  • Unlocking SEL with AI
  • Strengthening Emotional Intelligence with AI
  • Designing SEL Practice with AI

Learner Outcomes

  • Analyze SEL frameworks and the five CASEL core competencies and apply them to daily classroom practice and schoolwide implementation
  • Design an SEL-aligned classroom routine grounded in emotional intelligence and learner belonging, developed and refined with AI support
  • Partner with AI responsibly for professional reflection, self-assessment, and scenario practice while setting personal guardrails and evaluating AI outputs critically while keeping educator judgment and relationships at the center
