Social and Emotional Learning, Postgraduate Certificate

You will gain a postgraduate certificate (60 Masters level credits) which can be transferred if you undertake further Masters study. In module 1, you will engage critically with the theory, rationale and practice of social and emotional learning, focussing particularly on schools. The module draws on critical exploration, application and evaluation of the approaches of the Family Links Nurturing Programme, as a case study in the broader context of a range of theoretical and professional perspectives. In module 2 you will reflect deeply and authentically on your own experiences of emotions in education as a teacher and as a learner. In module 3, you will explore creative approaches to empowering the social and emotional development within your school community or other education setting; and engage critically with issues of leadership in curriculum, pedagogy, classroom environment and lesson design.
