Course Description

This 10-hour course explores self-awareness and accurate self-perception—key components of social-emotional learning. The course highlights the importance of teaching students to identify emotions, recognize personal strengths, build self-confidence and self-efficacy, and foster accurate self-perception. The course contains two substantive units:

Self-Awareness

Self-awareness affects all other social-emotional competencies. This unit provides tools and techniques to help students look inward in healthy ways, identify emotions, recognize strengths, boost self-confidence and self-efficacy, improve self-talk, and accurately perceive themselves. Cultivating these essential skills will support students’ success in school and life.

Self-Management

Self-management is critical for students and educators in achieving short- and long-term goals. This unit covers goal-setting, stress management, organizational skills, internal motivation, self-discipline, and impulse control.
