EPS 544 Social and Emotional Learning in the Schools: Individual and Group Interventions

This is the second of a two-course series in mental health prevention and intervention in the schools with a focus on social and emotional learning in the school environment. The course is designed to examine the need for social and emotional learning (SEL) in the school-wide environment and implement empirically-based SEL skills within the whole school and classroom climates. This course yields a specific focus on the use of empirically validated SEL interventions with tier two students within a small group and/or individual intervention focus. The course focuses on the use of group and individual consultation with individual and/or groups of both teachers and parents with a focus on coaching, modeling and teaching SEL skills. The course is sensitive to diverse cultural and economic environments promoting early promotion and school-wide mastery of SEL skills. There is a field experience connected with this course. Prerequisite(s): EPS 500; EPS 543. 3 semester hours
