This EdPrepLab practice brief describes the framework that Trinity University's Master of Arts in Teaching program uses to integrate social-emotional learning, cultural competences, and equity into teacher preparation.
The framework focuses on three essential skill sets: (1) knowing of self, (2) relating to others, and (3) understanding the system. The brief describes program approaches to help candidates develop in these three skill areas including learning communities, identity exploration, inquiry, and classroom application.
