This chapter provides an interdisciplinary, conceptual social justice and social emotional learning framework and protocol to understand the varying competencies needed in critical learning paradigms with regard to multilingual learners (MLs). Engaging in social justice and social emotional (SJSE) work requires reflective practices to develop teacher identity. Therefore, reflection protocols before and after instruction in this chapter serve as a lever for building culturally reflective teachers through prompts that engage in self-awareness, student relations, and climate. Lesson plan delivery at different grade and language levels along with background and rationale of each topic further demonstrate SJSE integration. Discussion of challenges in SJSE are addressed that extend into three identified areas: professional, personal, and institutional.

Schools that make an effort to promote social-emotional learning, character growth, and joyful learning may question whether and how to measure the effectiveness of such efforts. Yet, as Madora Soutter explains, measurement is an important way to ensure that all students, including those who are frequently marginalized, feel emotionally supported in their schools. Soutter discusses how measurement of SEL and other outcomes is a social justice issue while also warning educators of some of the pitfalls of such measurements. She cites the efforts of the EL Education network of schools as one example of how a school can track social-emotional learning in a way that is attentive to equity.

Under the internationalization of education context and globalization, at tertiary level, students benefit from opportunities for academic and professional development. However, they also face pressures ranging from academic burdens to social life, which cause huge stressors. In responding to this challenge, the suggestion from K-12 education, so-called social emotional learning (SEL) can be integrated in higher education due to its effectiveness in self-awareness, social relation and responsible decision. For supporting evidences, a trans-disciplinary study was conducted at National Economics University, where SEL materials were integrated into English lessons of 100 research participants, including those from traditional and partnership programs. This research aimed at equipping students with SEL knowledge to better deal with their stressors. Successfully, after getting the input of SEL intervention, students changed their stress responses from avoidance-oriented to problem- and emotion-oriented.

Cano and Smurr became co-teachers and developed a social emotional learning (SEL) supplementary curriculum to use along their mandated English Language Arts curricula in their seventh and eighth grade classes. Through a process of research and development, their primary purpose was to identify the effectiveness of social emotional learning curriculum. This chapter will expand on the implementation and the impact of SEL curriculum created by Cano and Smurr; this curriculum was developed and implemented throughout the 2018-2019 school year and demonstrated student responsiveness towards learning and personal well-being. The SEL curriculum is strongly based off CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) standards: self-efficacy, growth mindset, self-management, social awareness, and self-awareness. The assignments impacted student learning in multiple areas such as an avenue of advocacy for learning needs, normalized stigmatized topics in the classroom, and assistance in student self-reflection and metacognition skills.

RESEARCH HAS DOCUMENTED THE positive effects of social emotional learning (SEL), and educational policy developments and accepted learning standards are beginning to reflect these findings. However, how best to include evidence-based practices in the instruction of social emotional competencies in regular preschool settings is not yet fully understood. Through a thematic and content analysis, this study identifies the target skills, implementation, instructional and rehearsal procedures in eight effective preschool SEL programs. The analysis describes a differential relationship between target skills and instructional and rehearsal procedures. The findings highlight the relevance of particular procedures in the instruction of specific competencies, and in broader social emotional instruction. These findings may assist educators in instructional planning with current learning documents, such as the Early Years Learning Framework (DEEWR, 2009).

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) has identified 5 sets of social-emotional learning (SEL) skills (the CASEL 5): self-awareness; self-management; social awareness and empathy; relationship skills; and responsible, ethical decision-making. SEL is critical for students to be able to manage their own internal stressors, navigate their social environment successfully, and then access a comprehensive curriculum. It provides students with critical life skills such as problem-solving and perspective-taking that will span well beyond their schooling years, helping them to become productive members of society. In this chapter, the authors describe how to assess a school system’s infrastructure for SEL and discuss how to implement SEL at both Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels in an urban disadvantaged school district where many students have been impacted by trauma. A case study is presented.
