Part of the developmental growth that students in the age group are going through presents some challenges.  However, as the school year progresses and the students get comfortable with their peers in my classes and we go on our clinical rotations and participate in internships they develop social skills and emotional maturity.

In the courses that I teach part of the content includes a Wellness and Mental Health units that include activities that help the students with exercises in stress reduction and mindfulness, etc.

Social Emotional Learning involves teaching students from a wholeness point of view.  Connecting real-life to the content being taught.  Connecting with students by being aware of their challenges and providing resources if needed helps the student "learn" how to navigate through the learning experience.

I learned how to use social media as a way to engage students in collaborating with business partner across the globe.

Social media can be a tool in teaching students global citizenship.

I learned about setting up a virtual partnership with other schools in different countries.  I leaned about resources to assist with setting u these partnerships.

I learned the importance of work-based learning experiences to assist the students to connect the content learned in the classroom with real-world applications to help the students move into a career after graduation and develop global citizenship skills.

I learned the importance of networking with local businesses to provide student partnerships with local industries in their chosen career field.
