Resources on this page have been specifically curated for California educators by state leaders and champions of social-emotional learning (SEL). They are intended to be used by any educator, in any role, to support building capacity, collaboration, and implementation of SEL.
Greater Good in Education California SEL Modules
In partnership with California's SEL Community of Practice, in 2020-2021 the Greater Good in Education developed modules specifically for county offices, districts, schools, and educators in California that could help support capacity-building and implementation of SEL through various topics. Each module topic provides context, facilitation tips, activities for individuals or groups, and additional resources for deeper learning. Below are the module topics that are free to any California educator who registers for a free account:
Topic 1- Caring for Ourselves: The Science of Emotional Resilience
Topic 2- Safety and Belonging in Classrooms and Schools
Topic 3- Addressing Trauma and Adversity: Supporting Student Mental Health
Topic 4- Committing to Racial Equity and Cultural Responsiveness
Topic 5- Teaching for Social, Emotional, and Academic Development
Topic 6- Supporting SEL through Family and Community Engagement
