Abstract
Social emotional learning (SEL) is an important aspect of school that does not get enough attention. Many teachers are currently focused on academics instead of how their students are handling the stress of COVID-19 and distance learning. The focus issue addressed in this capstone project is SEL in the online classroom during COVID-19. An argument is made that distance learning causes a higher rate of mental health problems in students in all grade levels. Considerations of the issue should include the perspectives of teachers, parents, and students. The three action options that emerged from an analysis of the data included: teacher teams meet regularly to share findings and brainstorming other ways to connect with students; daily/weekly check ins; and implementation of Second Step. Daily check-ins is argued to be the most effective way to achieve the goals of SEL during this difficult time of distance learning.
