SEL Application On A Global Scale

Note to user: Remember your own personalized copies of documents, templates, and items to capture learning are shared within the Google Classroom. If you are not in the Classroom, then please reach out to Aaron Maurer(amaurer@mbaea.org) to learn how to get involved.

This module assumes you know and can do the following:

Competency

Social Awareness connotes perspective-taking; empathy; respecting diversity; understanding social and ethical norms of behavior; and recognizing family, school, and community support.

Reflect

If you listen to the podcast version, then you can try to the Walk and Talk method of learning!

Walk and Talk

For this task & for these new environments of teaching and learning we have the opportunity to avoid the typical "sit and get" approach to learning.

For this learning I am asking you to get up, grab some headphones and walk while you listen and reflect. The podcast is 40 minutesso you can break up into two sessions or knock it out in one session.

If you are in a school you could ask permission to walk the halls during your prep or before/after school.

This idea was adapted from this post

EDU Podcast Tasting + Podcasts & Pedometers for PD with Choice and Movement!

Capture ideas by voice typing into your app of choice, but I would recomend adding to a Google Doc or Google Keep

If you need to learn about voice typing, then here is a newsletter and video guide
Voice Typing on Mac, PC, and/or Chromebook

Template

Here is a template(if you are in the course please use the version in Google Classroom) to capture your ideas.
- Feel free to capture ideas in a mode that best serves you. This is just one way to organize thoughts and perhaps a tool you can use with staff and students.
