One of life’s universal truths is the need for connection. Even though our students join our classrooms with a variety of backgrounds from trauma to addiction, they also seek connection and a sense of belonging. In Connection in the Classroom, you will learn how emotionally connected classrooms support students in achieving their goals and you will discover what neuroscience research says about why emotional connections are key to students’ success. This course will teach you how to create an emotionally connected learning environment that is safe, healthy, and nurturing.

This course is part of a Social Emotional Learning Learning Pathway/Certificate bundle in partnership with American College of Education and Augustana University. Visit our Certificate page to learn more.
