Course Description

Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy is a premier, peer-reviewed, open-access journal sponsored by CASEL, dedicated to advancing research, practice, and policy in social and emotional learning (SEL). It publishes high-quality empirical studies, critical perspectives, and discussions on SEL implementation and impact. While affiliated with CASEL, the journal maintains editorial independence under the governance of an independent Publications Committee.

A featured article, Barriers and Facilitators: The Contrasting Roles of Media and Technology in Social–Emotional Learning by Dr. Aesha John and Dr. Samantha Bates, explores the dual impact of digital tools on children's SEL. The article examines both benefits and challenges, applying key theoretical frameworks such as bioecological, neo-ecological, differential susceptibility, and attachment theories. Learning objectives for this lesson include evaluating media and technology’s influence on SEL in children (ages 0-12), applying theoretical frameworks, and identifying strategies to mitigate barriers while enhancing positive outcomes.
