About
Good 2 B Different is a curriculum based on Social Emotional Learning. The curriculum incorporates integrating technology into the classroom. Students learn about creating video content, social media, and filmmaking that makes a social statement utilizing PSA’s that the students choose as a final project. The curriculum includes vocabulary, essay writing, learning about leadership, and the tools for media development.
While Social Emotional Learning (SEL isn’t a designated subject like history or math, it can be woven into the fabric of a school’s curriculum. When educators make academic lessons more personal and relatable to students, students may be more inclined to participate and may be less likely to mentally check-out during their subjects. By fostering a sense of empathy, self-awareness, and feelings of safety and inclusiveness in the classroom, SEL can have a positive impact that lasts a lifetime.
