Harvard's Social and Emotional Thinking Routines for Teaching in a Diverse, Complex, and Moving World
This teaching guide from Project Zero at Harvard Graduate School of Education and Re-Imagining Migration explores educator dispositions and social-emotional thinking routines for navigating migration education. The guide was created as a resource for educators to develop students’ “thinking dispositions” focused on perspective-taking, global inquiry, respectful dialogue, and an equity-focused mindset. It describes four social-emotional thinking routines that educators may use in their own classrooms: (1) Creating Space for Learning, (2) See/Feel/Think/Wonder, (3) Seek to See, and (4) Same/Different/Connect/Engage. The guide describes the purpose, preparation, and facilitation of each routine, and it offers teaching tools to use with students. Lastly, the guide concludes with an inquiry framework for planning, documenting, and reflecting on social-emotional thinking routines so that educators may develop ones that fit within their contexts.
