ECO-Vitality Project: Social-Emotional Learning in School Gardens
Research-Practice Partner: Local Elementary Schools in Santa Barbara County (Completed)
In this project, we collaborated with Ecology Explore in Santa Barbara to integrate social-emotional learning activities with school gardening activities in local elementary schools in Santa Barbara County. The purpose of the project was to promote students’ social-emotional skills (e.g., self-awareness, self-management, social-awareness, responsible decision-making, and social skills) through a variety of school-based educational and mentoring activities.
Undergraduate students played a central role in this project. During each quarter, students received training and supervision on school-based social-emotional learning through the course CNCSP 197 Special Topics in Applied Psychology. They also worked directly with students in a local elementary school for 2-3 hours per week by collaborating with the garden educator to implement school-based social-emotional learning educational activities in school gardens.
