This course, Towards Inclusive Social and Emotional Learning, offers an eye-opening exploration into how SEL programs can better serve all students—especially those from marginalized and minoritized communities. Grounded in a comprehensive meta-analysis spanning over a decade of research, the course examines how universal school-based SEL (USB SEL) programs often fall short in addressing the diverse needs of students across race, gender, language, ability, and identity. Participants will gain the tools to critically evaluate current SEL practices, identify equity gaps, and implement strategies that foster flexibility, representation, and cultural responsiveness. Whether you're an educator, researcher, or policymaker, this course will empower you to reimagine SEL through a lens of inclusivity, transforming your practice to ensure every student feels seen, supported, and successful.
