Context and Audience
This Rise 360 sandbox module, “Building SEL Excellence: CASEL Framework for Middle School Success,” was created for practicing middle school teachers. The module focuses on three learning outcomes: explain the five CASEL competencies, implement daily SEL practices integrated with academics, and recognize and respond to student emotional needs.
The module is organized into four topical sections with an interactive CASEL wheel and embedded formative checks. Its purpose is quick professional learning for busy middle school teachers that is mobile-friendly and mastery-oriented.
Tools Used
- Rise 360
- Canva for CASEL wheel and color palette
- FreePik
- Google Drive
Assessment Approach
Five knowledge checks are distributed across the module. Rise contains formative in-lesson checks (matching, multiple choice, multiple response, true/false, and sequence). For the sandbox I implemented Storyline for the graded set, but Rise’s in-context checks are ideal for mastery and quick teacher reflection.
Reflection Highlights
Rise 360 was fast to assemble and excellent for delivering mastery-oriented learning that is mobile-friendly and easy for busy teachers to access. The platform encourages consistency and helps reduce extraneous processing, which fits the goals of my teacher training module.
