Program Overview

The Prosocial Leader certificate is designed for school leaders who are interested in leading schoolwide social and emotional learning (SEL) programs. This professional learning experience consists of three courses remotely facilitated in partnership with CREATE and the Prosocial Leader Lab.

In University of Colorado Denver’s Prosocial Leader certificate, you will focus on the following four themes: 

  • Establishing shared understanding of SEL for leaders and systemic SEL. You will engage in interactive exploration of various SEL frameworks and connect your own beliefs and values with those of a school with SEL.
  • Strengthening adult SEL. You will explore tangible strategies that support adults in cultivating your own SEL through a CARE program.  
  • Implementing SEL and developing a sustainable plan. You will examine strategies for actively engaging students in learning and practicing social and emotional competencies across classrooms and school environments and in partnership with families and communities, including relationship-building and supportive learning environments.
  • Further exploring tools and resources for collecting data to use tracking progress toward SEL school goals. You will draft action steps and an aligned evaluation plan and develop strategies for engaging the full school community in learning from the data.

The Prosocial Leader certificate consists of three courses; each for 45 re-licensing professional development hours which equals 135 contact hours. These courses may also be taken for 3 graduate credits each.
