social emotional learning curriculum

This project builds the foundation for the final course project by synthesizing current research and professional guidelines related to school counseling program evaluation. The literature review will help you identify best practices, equity considerations, and methodological approaches that inform your evaluation plan. For this project, you will focus on a program you selected for evaluation (e.g., social emotional learning curriculum, college/career readiness initiative, attendance intervention, mental health support program such as anti-bullying). You will identify a minimum of 6 scholarly sources from peer-reviewed journals or evaluation guides that have studied this program (at least 2 sources should address equity and cultural responsiveness). In 6-8 pages (using APA format, 7th edition; include a reference list), you will: 1) state the purpose of the review and its relevance to your chosen program, 2) organize the research findings in thematic sections, 3) explain how the literature informs your future program evaluation plan, 4) summarize key insights and implications for practice.

A little about me and my reasons for social emotional learning curriculum: I have worked in a k-8th school as a theatre teacher also called cluster teacher or specials and found SEL ( social emotional learning) check-ins to be helpful in the beginning and ending of class. Also working with younger grades it helps them navigate emotions and develop characters from interactive play.
