The Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility is a non-profit organization that provides resources and support to educators in promoting social and emotional learning (SEL) and teaching social responsibility in schools. The organization’s approach is based on the belief that teaching social and emotional skills is essential for creating a positive and inclusive school environment. The Morningside Center website provides a wealth of resources for educators, including lesson plans, activities, and strategies for promoting SEL and teaching social responsibility. These resources are designed to help educators create a safe and supportive classroom environment where students can develop social and emotional skills, such as empathy, communication, and problem-solving. The organization also offers professional development opportunities for educators who want to incorporate SEL into their teaching practice. In addition, the Morningside Center advocates for policies that support SEL and provides guidance on how to integrate SEL into school-wide initiatives.
