Music Education and Social Emotional Learning Student Workbook

This workbook contains 30 practical and engaging activities for music educators implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum in their classrooms.

Each worksheet corresponds to an exercise detailed in Scott Edgar's Music Education and Social Emotional Learning: The Heart of Teaching Music (item #867091). These activities offer students the opportunity to reflect musically, socially, and emotionally, and enhance individual social-emotional competence and musicianship. These activities are appropriate for musical and SEL assessment purposes.

This workbook is organized into sections based on the three core SEL goals: Self, Others, and Decisions. Each goal is defined, then learning standards and skill sets are listed for each goal. This workbook also includes a series of reflection questions at the end of each section.

Downloadable PDF files of worksheets are available for convenience, along with permission to reproduce them.
