Complete a Free, SCECH-eligible Module on Social-Emotional Learning

As a new school year begins, and the pandemic continues, students at every grade level will need an extra focus on social-emotional learning and health. The Michigan Department of Education is offering a free SEL training and encouraging educators to complete it by Labor Day.

The two-hour, SCECH-eligible online module hosted by Michigan Virtual is part of a campaign launched by MDE in March around the theme: “Children matter. You matter.

More than 600 educators have completed the course since the campaign began. To learn more visit michigan.gov/mde-sel.
