Social & Emotional Learning

Social and Emotional Learning

Teaching Philosophy

A teacher needs to find the balance between task and relationship-oriented approaches because not every student is the same. It is important to be able to accommodate every student's style (or try to). While being task-oriented may be beneficial to completing the curriculum, it may not be the best to maintain the relationship and overall atmosphere in the class.

To promote Social and Emotional Learning, students will be put into groups to create a piece using the technique learned in class. Groups will be randomly assigned. As part of the procedures and curriculum, students will journal how they felt about the class in the middle of class and after class as well; this will help promote emotional learning.
