Students and teachers face increasingly complicated social and emotional challenges, but their experiences in the art room can support their personal development. This course will provide participants with a foundation of social-emotional learning (SEL) concepts and strategies, including competencies and modalities to increase students’ self-esteem and sense of community while supporting teachers’ social and emotional awareness. Through qualitative inquiry, participants will demonstrate an understanding of the social, emotional, and artistic development of students and design curricula to bridge SEL competencies with creative experiences. Participants will amass a collection of tools, including lesson plans, community resources, project ideas, and organizational strategies to support the integration of SEL in the art room.
