Are you a teacher guided by your intuition and experience, with little to no formal training on how to deal with unanticipated personal/interpersonal problems that are outside your expertise? Have you been called upon to break up a student fight; console a child who is feeling hurt; help a student resolve a personal problem; meet with a distraught or disgruntled parent; or offer comfort to a variety of people who are feeling sad, lonely, anxious, frustrated, angry or depressed?
The Social and Emotional Pedagogy course focusses on the vital pastoral care role teachers undertake as part of their work but for which training has been lacking.
The Social and Emotional Pedagogy course offers topics that help educators adjust more flexibly to the variety of roles taken on in the classroom and school context. By developing and becoming better acquainted with social and emotional pedagogical skills, teachers will be better placed to immediately assist and respond to their students, as well as exercise effective self-care.
The main aim of the Social and Emotional Pedagogy course is to provide a program of studies that enhances educators’ understanding of student, and teacher, non-academic challenges and needs, using a humanistic and evidence-based approach.
