Educating the Heart: Supporting Social Competence in Out of School Time Programs

By supporting the social and emotional development of school-age children, we are helping improve self-perception and social behavior. An out of school time program that has a balance of activities and focuses on individual needs, reduces the incidence of at-risk behaviors. In this online course, participants will learn strategies for supporting school age children in their development of social and emotional skills. These skills include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
