Tier 1 Module 1: Social, Emotional, Behavioral Health (SEBH) Overview

Creator: Kelly Dolan Sapp, Ed.D., Social Emotional Learning Coach and Professional Learning Facilitator.

Description: How do we define SEBH? What does state policy say? What does the research say? What are the core competencies? How do I use them in my own life and practice? How do I teach them to my students? All of these questions and more will be explored.

Goals:

1. Gain an understanding of and be able to discuss current Iowa state SEBH policy
2. Name and understand the 5 CASEL SEL Competencies
3. Identify and plan for implementation and integration of the 5 CASEL SEL Competencies within a classroom

Estimated time to complete: 2-3 hours

Completion:

• Educators will have 31 days to complete the module. After submitting an assignment for the module, it might take anywhere from 1-2 weeks for it to be graded. As soon as all assignments are submitted and graded, you will receive an email letting you know you've completed the module. Also, if you don't complete the module in time, you will not receive your certificate of completion.
• The certificate participants receive after completing each module is not valid for licensure credit.
  • Licensure Renewal Credit Option: Educators will have to enroll in the Licensure Renewal Course and complete all 6 Tier 1 modules to receive a certificate for one Iowa licensure renewal credit. Educators who are not in the state of Iowa, or who don’t renew their licensure through the Iowa BoEE, should check with their governing body if this experience would be approved for a renewal credit.
