This module is part of a series of online professional learning modules for K12 educators developed by the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation to support and expand the implementation of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in schools and districts. In this module, you will develop a meaningful understanding of self-awareness as defined by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) Framework for Social and Emotional Learning.

In order to successfully earn a certificate of completion for 10 professional development hours, participants must:

1. Complete an initial survey about your background, organization, and goals for taking the module through registration.
2. Engage in the materials and course activities as suits your learning needs. Review selected background materials (videos, webcasts, readings), follow personalized pathways that suit your needs, and engage in activities to help illustrate core concepts.
3. Contribute to the module forums by asking questions, responding to others’ questions, and sharing ideas in the discussion forums; agreeing with or identifying comments as insightful; suggesting resources that will be useful to others; and sharing your expertise in other ways. A certificate of completion requires at least one new discussion and 2 replies to peers in the discussion forum.
4. Reflect with your students on what strategies worked to support their SEL competency and what they could try next to identify lessons learned from student feedback.
5. Complete a survey about the module at the end and provide suggestions for improving it in the future.

You can submit the certificate to your local agency with a request for CEUs. Granting of CEUs will be subject to the policies and procedures of your state and local agency.
