Synopsis: The topic of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) connects with my students’ lives because of the pandemic students have been struggling with their Social Emotional Learning in school. The teaching content and standards I want to address is Social Awareness, which is the ability to understand, show compassion for and empathize with others from different cultures and those with different ideas. The approach also includes showing respect for others and celebrating differences. 

My content research is linked to my goals for my student’s social emotional well-being and creative growth related to STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. My focus is on SEL to help students with feeling accepted, being seen, and acknowledged for their feelings and emotional status: how they are feeling.
