Course Description

This article argues that SEL effectiveness depends not only on what is taught, but also on how it’s taught. It introduces a “Framework for the Pedagogies of SEL” linking three types of SEL knowledge (declarative, procedural, conditional) with five core teaching practices: modeling, practice promotion, transfer promotion, elaboration, and validation. Grounded in learning science and sociocultural theory, the framework emphasizes helping students consistently access and apply SEL skills across contexts and emotional states, while accounting for culture, identity, and student variability to support more equitable outcomes. After reading the article, learners will complete a brief quiz to check understanding and earn 1 APA CE credit.
*There are no conflicts of interest to report.
