Infusing SEL and CE by Aligning Core Standards With Target Assets
Review materials describing ways to infuse SEL and/or CE into academic and arts instruction, related guideposts from P21 Framework for 21st Century Skills, ESSA, and academic standards, such as CCSS, for accomplishing this integration, and dual-purpose lessons as a preferred and under-utilized means for bringing SEL or CE to schools.
Construct a grid aligning core standards for academics and/or the arts with skills and themes from the . . .
P21 Framework for 21st Century Learning, and
SEL/CE competencies and strengths from a credible individual, organizational, or governmental source. These should be the actual assets (competencies and/or virtues) and not formal SEL or SECD standards with developmental benchmarks pertaining to these assets drawn from state and other sources. Examples include kindness, responsibility, grit, intercultural literacy).
Elaborate on the content of your grid or table and sources used in at least two well-developed paragraphs.
Draft at least one lesson plan suggested by connections made within your alignment grid or by simply imagining what is possible. The plan need not be in final ready-to-use form but should be a complete draft with all the basic parts of a good lesson. You can use whatever planning format or template you prefer provided you can modify or supplement it to satisfy the assignment requirements. It should be at least one page if in table or template form.
Submit your grid, two or more paragraphs of elaboration, and lesson plan in an APA-formatted paper.
