About This Track

This comprehensive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) track offers adults a transformative journey through 11 specialized courses designed to build essential emotional intelligence skills for both personal and professional growth. Beginning with an introduction to the WINGS Social Emotional Learning framework, the curriculum moves from self-awareness of strengths, weaknesses, and emotions to practical self-management techniques for navigating life's surprises and maintaining emotional control in critical moments. The track then develops responsible decision-making skills, teaching participants how to make choices aligned with their authentic selves while owning outcomes. Social awareness and connection modules follow, emphasizing empathy, genuine interactions, and the powerful TEAMS framework for mastering relationship skills. The program culminates with advanced feedback techniques that build trust and strengthen relationships. Throughout all lessons, participants engage in practical exercises, reflection, and real-world application to transform how they understand themselves, connect with others, and navigate workplace challenges with greater emotional intelligence.
This program gave me the language and the confidence to lead differently. I'm better equipped to control my emotions and give and accept feedback. My team is more connected than ever, and the kids we serve are feeling the difference. - Afterschool Program Site Director, Track 1 Pilot Participant
