About the Course

In this course the instructors (Randy Testa, Ben Kirshner, Emily Price, and Dan Liston) have designed two culminating projects for the Coursera Specialization entitled – “The Teacher and SEL”. The two options include: “A Teacher Implementation Plan”, and “The Cinema, SEL, and the Classroom”. This course is a part of the 5-course Specialization “The Teacher and Social Emotional Learning (SEL)”.

We want to note that the courses in this Specialization were designed with a three-credit university course load in mind. As a participant you may notice a bit more reading content and a little less video/lecture content. Completing and passing the SEL Specialization allows the participant to apply for 3 graduate credits toward teacher re-certification and professional enhancement. We want to ensure the quality and high standards of a University of Colorado learning experience.

Great course with great resources. I wish they had given more resources on resilient education, and the impact of negative emotion on learning.

Peer Reviewed activities are great for feedback but haulted me from working at my own pace

This last course of the specialization has been very difficult to complete. Although I uploaded all my assigments and graded all the projects from my peers, I still haven´t been able to get my certificate because not enough people have graded mine. I have been posting and asking people in the forums to please review them, but after 24 days I am still waiting to get the sspecialization certificate. Tomorrow I will be billed again for this course when I actually finished almost a month ago. I am not even sure if I will ever get the certificate, I see people whose posts are from last year and I see their projectcs are still there waiting to be graded.

I wasn't a huge fan of the shift to peer-reviewed work on the last course.

Although the content of this course is very useful, I feel it would be better if it was incorporated into the other courses appropriately, since one has to finish all of them to be able to write the assignments.

Learning is the most effective and powerful weapon. If you want to change the world, hurry to get this weapon. As a researcher, I set this goal and used this rich and valuable treasure that presented to us by Coursera. My aim is to change the world around me and it is necessary to gain a weapon that everyone fears. This weapon is not that kills and destroys the world, but this weapon that beautifies and flourishes our future. Its name is knowledge. Thanks, Coursera!

Having an opportunity to apply the concepts presented in the previous courses was rewarding and I appreciated the creative approach. Using film as a medium to apply the teachings was helpful since this is something that could come to fruition in a classroom, school or community event.

This was indeed the most course that helped me most in brainstorming ideas, critical thinking and reflective. I love the way the material was presented and all the readings implied accurate and valuable knowledge

It seems to be a dead class, no one seems to be enrolled and no one grades the courses. It also seems to never be complete; the ending course gives you numerous options to complete (either review a movie on how it applies to SEL or write how you will apply SEL in your classroom/school), but the way that these MOOCs are set up pushes you to finish every option or else you don't get a grade. Speaking of grades, no one seems to be enrolled so no peers grade your work. Overall, you cannot finish this capstone because the options method is busted and no one is available to grade your work. Save your money and time and move on to something else. I will edit if something changes but its been months and I am going to complain to coursera about either waking up the moderators of this course or delisting it from their program selection.
