Inclusion and SEL: better together! Innovative learning processes to create inclusive European school environments and tackle early school leaving (ESL)
About Course
Dear teachers, welcome to “Inclusion and socio-emotional learning (SEL); better together!”
The course you are about to start is part of the Erasmus+ Project BE-IN (2022-2024), “Best Innovative Practices for an Inclusive and Emotional Education to face early school leaving in Europe.”
The course is made up of introductory seminars (topics 1-5) and a practical workshop (topics 7-10) plus a final evaluation, for about a total of 18 hours of self-study. The seminar will introduce the themes of SEL (socio-emotional learning) and inclusive learning through a number of different materials. From topic 6 to topic 10 you will be guided to engage with a wide range of practical activities. By completing assignments at various stages of these modules you will be equipped to apply in your teaching units, activities specifically designed to embed SEL and inclusion in your day-by-day teaching.
The course materials are intended to be used and adapted to each class context and where possible co-create activities based on students’ contributions and needs. Through an exchange of professional practices, skills, and knowledge on the ways to respond to current challenges in teaching, we aim to empower you in better responding to your student’s learning and well-being.
It is important for you to know that you will find many downloadable resources and activities that you can embed in your day-to-day teaching to involve your students. Participating in this course will also allow you to use digital competencies and experience the benefits of social learning. You’ll be able to reflect on your old and new learning, experiences, and discoveries and share ideas with your colleagues. Through this platform and the many activities proposed you will be enabled to self-reflect in a safe environment. The Course Forum will offer you the space to safely exchange your ideas, progress, reflections, and questions with other course learners.
