SEB Wellness w/Field

Catalog description

This course covers the roles of other relevant child-serving systems within communities that can be supportive to addressing matters associated with social, emotional and behavioral wellness of PK-12 students (e.g., children's mental health, juvenile justice). Confidentiality and professional ethics will be emphasized and required. Teacher candidates will apply skills in communicating and collaborating effectively with children and youth who have experienced trauma and/or mental illness, as well as their families and school and community partners. This course also allows teacher candidates to practice advocating professionally for children and youth and their social, emotional and behavioral wellness. Since this course is the practicum for the Social, Emotional, Behavioral Wellness PK12 endorsement, it requires 40 hours of fieldwork in mental health community agencies.
