Social-emotional learning curriculum
Dear Teacher,
High school is an exciting time! But, some students also find
it stressful as they face challenges maintaining relationships,
handling social media, or worrying about what they’ll do after
graduation. We hope that our Social-Emotional Learning
Curriculum will help you help them to manage all those feelings.
Studies show that explicit social-emotional learning has many
benefits. Not only can it help students perform better in school,
but it’s also been shown to improve attitudes and behavior,
decrease negative behavior, and reduce stress.
Throughout these five social-emotional learning courses, your
students will be exploring the following topics: self-awareness,
social awareness, decision-making, relationship building, and self-
management.
We look forward to hearing your feedback as well as your
students’ success stories using ONEder Academy’s SEL
Curriculum. Please contact us at [email protected]. We can’t
wait to hear from you!
Sincerely,
The ONEder Academy Team

Instructional Model
Whole Group Instruction: Allows teachers to instruct
and model concepts for all students at once. It gives every
student a good introduction and foundational knowledge of
skills that individualized practice can enhance.
Small Group Instruction: Allows teachers to work closely
with each student on their specific learning objectives to
reinforce skills and check for understanding.
ONEder Academy: Content is delivered online through a
series of engaging lessons and activities. The activities are
self-paced and are an extension of the whole and small
group instruction.
Collaborative Group Practice: As an educational approach
to teaching and learning that involves groups of students
working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or
create a product.
Closure: The closure is the time when you wrap up a lesson
plan. Use this time to help students organize the information
they learned and put it into context in their minds using the
end of lesson reflections.

Studies show that explicit social-emotional learning
instruction helps students in a number of ways. According
to the National Education Association, SEL helps students
to, “achieve better academic performance, improve [their]
attitudes and behaviors, decrease negative behavior, and
reduce emotional stress.”
Our SEL Curriculum was designed for all students at the
high school grade level. Our online learning system
empowers students with Individualized Education Programs
(IEPs) to choose their accommodations and translation

SEL Curriculum Overview
ONEder Academy was built by educators, for educators. We know that teachers become educators to help students grow and reach their full potential; not to become data analysts. However, studies show that data can help teachers pinpoint their students’ areas of struggle and guide them along the path to success. For that reason, we created ONEder Academy with easy-to-understand dashboards that give you the information you need — not all the stuff you don’t!
The Feedback Required link informs
you when a student has assessments
that require grading. Click on the link to
navigate to give the student a grade.
The Pending Tasks button tells
you when you need to review your
student’s work, assign a grade, or
provide feedback.
Use the Progress Bars to quickly
identify students who are struggling
with course content and to group
students for collaborative activities.

At ONEder, we believe in self-determination; students can and should make their own choices. For that
reason, we created the rigorous, literacy-based and standards-aligned curriculum in ONEder Academy.
When students take courses in ONEder Academy, they can build their own self-advocacy skills
by selecting their own accommodations and features! This includes features such as read aloud,
highlighted text, and enlarged text. We also have a feature that allows students to translate the text
content into over 60 different languages.
Students can select these accommodations and features at any time in their course by clicking on the
settings button on the top-right corner of the screen.

Whether you’re a first time or veteran educator, consider integrating these six
evidence-based best practices, all of which are found within ONEder Academy’s SEL
Curriculum, into your instructional routines with your students.
1. Have High Standards
Having high student expectations is one of the biggest
factors contributing to a student’s success. 50 years of
research affirms that students will rise to the levels that
are set for them. Researcher John Hattie explains that one
way for teachers to have high expectations is to “explicitly
outline learning intentions, or goals and expectations for
students that are...articulated to students and embedded in
instructional activities, so that students understand these
goals and their position on the trajectory to achieve them.”
ONEder Academy’s SEL courses ensure that all students
have access to rigorous, grade-level work. Studies show
students can and will do the work, we just have to expect
them to.
2. Teach the Standard and the Goal
Teaching students the grade-level standard, as well as an
individual goal, is also connected to having high standards.
Goal-driven instruction is a student-focused methodology,
informed by the principles of responsive teaching. Research
has shown that goal-setting is critical to the success of
differentiated instruction and that defining goals that
are both clear and attainable is key. With our curriculum,
educators can easily differentiate grade-level content at the
grade level to help students meet their goals.
Professional Development: Best Practices
20
3. Frequent Formative Assessments
The best way to evaluate whether or not students are
grasping the content you are teaching is to include frequent
formative assessments in your instruction. Our SEL
Curriculum does the work for you by including a variety of
opportunities to demonstrate mastery. These activities are
excellent to use as formative assessments to gauge your
students’ progress.
4. Include Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Ten years of research and hundreds of research studies have
shown that the UDL framework helps educators to maximize
student achievement. Educators do this by customizing
instruction for students based on the way they learn best.
The UDL framework focuses on three areas: The How of Learning, the Why of Learning, and the What of Learning. These three
principles focus on Engagement, Representation, and Action
and Expression.
ONEder takes UDL to a whole new level. We go beyond
accessibility and ensure every lesson has accommodations
for every student — no matter what kind of sensory, physical,
cognitive, or learning disability they may have, or how they
best learn. Using technology like ONEder Academy and
coupling it with UDL principles levels the playing field for all
students — not just those with disabilities.
5. Think Alouds
The think aloud strategy is exactly what it sounds like —
walking students through an explanation by articulating your
thinking process verbally during each step. Think alouds
serve two purposes: They help students better comprehend
the process or activity and they provide a model for what is
expected of them. The real beauty of the think aloud strategy
is that it’s an easy way to differentiate content for students,
it’s easy to implement and use immediately, and it can be
used in any subject area for any activity. From solving math
word problems, to clarifying reading texts, the think aloud is
the perfect way to get your students thinking!
6. Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR)
With this instructional method, the teacher gradually
releases responsibility and builds their students’
independence. While traditionally referred to as “I do, we
do, you do” GRR actually has four steps. In the first step,
the teacher delivers the lesson to their students. In the
second step, the teacher provides guided instruction on the
content. In the third step, collaborative learning is activated
in the classroom. Finally, in the fourth step, students work
independently on a particular task. You’ll notice that most of
the SEL lesson in ONEder Academy is structured this way.

Social-emotional learning (SEL) teaches students valuable interpersonal skills and helps
them to gain a better understanding of their feelings.
Explicit SEL instruction has been shown to:
• Improve positive social behavior.
• Reduce behavior and conduct problems.
• Reduce emotional stress.
• Improve academic performance.
To reach these goals, teachers, principals, parents, staff, and guidance
counselors ideally work together, using methods such as coaching, conflict
resolution, group decisions, cooperation, and mentoring to implement SEL.
As you begin this course with your students, we’d like to challenge you to
improve your own social-emotional learning! At the beginning of each unit,
you’ll find an Embedded Professional Learning activity. Take a few minutes
to complete this activity to help guide your instruction of that unit and your
own development.
In addition, you’ll notice an Educator Reflection at the end of every lesson.
These correspond to the introspective work we’re asking students to do and
will give you the chance to consider your own emotions. Please take a minute
or two to complete these at the end of each lesson.
In an optimal SEL program, students, parents, and the school all work
together to integrate SEL into the school’s culture and curriculum, but if
you’re doing it individually, we’re here to help!

remember that feelings are not “right” or “wrong”. It’s also
important to be able to recognize these feelings and be able
to react to them in a way that is appropriate.

Unit 1: Communications
Lesson 1: Speaking and Active Listening
VocabularyActive listening, paraphrasing, tone
• Don’t forget to make sure students take the Pre-Course Assessment independently before starting the course.
• You can introduce the course to students using the content in ONEder Academy by displaying it on a SMART Board during whole group instruction or by encouraging students to complete it independently.
Course Introduction Tips
ObjectiveYou’ll know this lesson is successful if students can: Identify the steps for clearly
communicating and being an active listener.
Key Ideas
• When we communicate well, we do it by communicating clearly, concisely,
completely, and with courtesy.
• When speaking, we should use the right pace, tone, and volume.
• Another important consideration is being an active listener.
For struggling readers, encourage use of the highlighted text or read aloud function.
Pre-teach lesson vocabulary to students who may need additional exposure to key words.
For students who are English learners, encourage use of the translation feature in ONEder Academy.
