About Me

My name is Jamielynn Baglio (Cerretto) and I am currently pursuing a Masters's Degree in Curriculum Design and Instructional Technology (CDIT) and I currently am a Health teacher and coach in the Spencerport Central School District. I love my job and enjoy being able to take what I learn in my CDIT program and implementing it into my current classroom. I just got married on July 17th and we have a handsome 1 year old boy and another due in May. I love spending time with my little family whenever I have the chance.

My Topic and Purpose

Integrating a healthy classroom climate through incorporating social emotional learning into academic instruction. Implementing SEL into the classroom climate and instruction will allow for students to achieve their academic goals, and support and deepen learning.

Scope of Learning Outcomes and Content

At the end of this course learners will be able to:

Identify what Social Emotional Learning is.

Asses their current use of SEL in the classroom.

Identify what a supportive and equitable learning environment looks like.

Create interactive instructional practices that support SEL

Needs Assessment

The Instructional Problem: What is the nature of the problem/opportunity: This course will address the gaps of knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding SEL. According to CASEL, “A frequent challenge to school wide SEL is the perception that it is just one more thing being added to an already crowded list of priorities and to-do’s.” (2021). Educators may fear implementing new ideas and initiatives into the classroom, especially when they have seen many other initiatives come and go. However, SEL is very beneficial and something that can be supported in the long-term if used correctly. Being able to provide students with social-emotional skills like self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, social awareness, and relationship skills provides them with the ability to cope with and manage their feelings and their responses. (Nassp, 2021).

What Will Be Learned: In order to fill the Gaps in SEL instruction, it is important to learn how to effectively incorporate it into the classroom. In this mini course learners will be able to identify the SEL needs in their own classroom through pre-assessments and then find ways to implement it into the classroom effectively. They will learn ways to create a positive classroom climate as well as how to implement these SEL needs into their own classrooms.

Analysis of Learners: The target audience for this course is current and upcoming teachers who are interested in implementing SEL into their classrooms. This course will allow them to assess their needs in the classroom and find ways to address them.
