This program includes dynamic professional learning sessions (both in-person and virtual), an engaging online community of practice, flexible asynchronous micro-learnings, and a rich library of resources. Participate in each of these opportunities to enhance your skills, collaborate with peers, and access valuable materials tailored to support your professional growth. This will help you integrate SEL into academics, thereby promoting student success.

7 Taps is the microlearning platform Harmony will use to create bite-sized opportunities between professional learning sessions. These microlearnings will be shared with you through the Harmony Connect platform. Educators can expect to receive interactive and easily digestible content that you can embed into your classroom.

Social and emotional learning shows up in both small and big moments throughout the day. To get started with our SEL-Academic Integration journey, you first determine the importance of SEL for your own learning and development through participation in Harmony Curriculum activities. You explore how the Harmony Curriculum supports the development of needed social and emotional competencies—for creating affirming learning environments and participation in rigorous instruction. You further identify steps you want to take in future academic lessons to incorporate the Harmony Curriculum social and emotional skills and thinking maps. Access Session 1 slides here!
Together, we will explore how the Harmony Curriculum supports creating affirming learning environments. We will determine how to use SEL to create inclusive, harmonious, and supportive classrooms for students’ active engagement in learning. You will identify the types of support, language, and inclusive problem-solving strategies you want to intentionally implement so that all students feel valued, that they belong, and that they have a voice in their learning environment.

Today we will review the implications that emotions, belonging, and SEL have on students’ learning. We will then engage in an activity—analyzing how Harmony skills and thinking maps are embedded within academic lessons. We will conclude by identifying your own SEL-Academic Integration Problem of Practice that you would like to solve and begin exploring how to solve it.
Educators explore how the Harmony Curriculum supports implementing learning design and instructional practices. They identify how to leverage SEL to create helpful emotional and social support for students’ active participation in rigorous content. Educators determine students’ needed skills as they engage in risk-taking, exploration, inquiry and choice, and rigorous and differentiated learning opportunities. Educators identify how they can use SEL to accurately challenge students, both individually and as a community.
Educators reflect on the year and the strategies they used to integrate SEL and academics using the Harmony Curriculum. They highlight key strategies that they used throughout the year and want to continue to (or try out) the following year. In doing so, educators elevate the social and emotional assets students bring to their academic learning, thus creating environments where all students feel safe, respected, and seen.
