Assignment 2B – Building Healthy Relationships Introduction Through the lens of Social Emotional Learning, we will examine building healthy relationships. By implementing the tenets of building relationships, teachers can enhance the learning environment and improve academics. Explore these six cards to discover valuable practices that impact student teacher relationships. Login 1. Go to the website and enter your username and password: 2. Find the online portal titled “National University – Sanford College of Education” and press “Go Now!” to open it. 3. View the shelf of Playbooks in Social Emotional Learning. For this assignment, you will only need to access Playbook #2 which is called “Building Healthy Relationships?” 4. Once you have opened up the “Building Healthy Relationships?” Playbook, you will have access to the six cards for this Playbook, which will be referenced throughout this assignment and in future courses, but you will complete 5 cards . Differentiation Both intern teachers and student teachers can engage with the “Building Healthy Relationships?” Playbook based on their own teaching and learning experiences. Intern teachers, what SEL strategies are you currently implementing? Student teachers, where do you want to begin with strategies to Build Healthy Relationships in your classroom? Considerations “When teaching social emotional learning, we are looking at the whole person. The emotions connected to learning are inseparable.” (Angela Karem, Transitional Kindergarten Teacher) Through your Playbook learning, how can you reflect on ways in which you can bring the whole child into classroom learning experiences? How will you create an environment that is safe, nurturing and empowering for each child that enters your room?
Card #1: Social Emotional Learning SEL in Action: List 3 SEL strategies you observe the teacher utilizing in the video “The Power of Relationships in Schools”. I found different strategies in the video. The first one was building positive healthy relationships. Another I observed was positive behavior support, and the third I noticed was promoting the development of empathy. In the video, the educator demonstrates several techniques related to social-emotional learning (SEL). The primary focus is on trust between the teacher and students through active engagement, the creation of a secure, and a welcoming atmosphere. The teacher dedicates time to actively listen to the students, and acknowledge their emotions and experiences. This also builds positive relationships. Lastly, the teacher encourages the students to effectively identify and express their emotions. She models emotional awareness by openly addressing her emotions and creating an atmosphere where students can share their own emotions. SEL Snapshot: Read about the purpose and intention of a morning Greeting with students. Describe the process you will use with your students (identify your grade level) to develop a morning greeting and your intended purpose of the greeting. I am in a mixed class of 3 rd – 4 th graders. There are only about 11 students as they all have some form of special needs. I think it would be possible to introduce a sign that reflects it is time to start the day. I could introduce a simple customized handshake with the kids as we start the day. This would help make them feel valued as our interactions can develop a relationship. Our new morning ritual lets the students know it’s time to begin. Think About It: View the graphic titled “Maslow’s Pyramid of Needs ”. Choose one of the five core elements (self-actualization, self-esteem, love and belonging, safety and security, physiological needs) and suggest one strategy you can utilize to cultivate this competency in the classroom. I have chosen self-esteem as the core element to cultivate on. My strategy would be to implement a growth mindset approach. This will include encouraging the student to celebrate their progress, and seeing their mistakes as part of the process. The purpose would be to build resilience so that students can overcome obstacles.
Act on It: Set an attainable goal for yourself that articulates a vision you have for building classroom community. Over the course of this school year, I will aim to increase family involvement and engagement in the classroom. My vision is to establish a partnership with parents that implements regular communication channels and provides resources to parents. I hope to create a collaborative and supportive learning environment where families actively contribute to their children's education.
