Recommend the Wellness and Resilience Class Series for Writing and SSc Credit


Do you have students who are struggling with their mental health, the stress of university life and expectations, or just need to boost their skills for navigating life as a Husky personally and academically? Have students who need SSc or writing credit or are looking for a non-competitive major?

As students come in for their spring quarter registration, remember to recommend EDUC 215 Wellness and Resilience for College and Beyond, now approved for writing credits!

The class will be particularly helpful for first year and/or transfer students to get started out with tips and tools to make the most out of their time at UW! It is also great for seniors as they prepare to graduate and enter the workforce!

In EDUC 215, students learn skills to enhance their well being in college and in their life in general. Particular focus is paid to skills that help students withstand common difficulties in life, like a disagreement with a loved one, tolerating doing work you don't want to do, and managing negative emotions in a healthy way. Skills will include but will not be limited to mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Students will also learn about research underlying stress, resilience, and related skill areas.

For EDUC 215, there are two times and modalities to take this 5 credit class that also provides SSc credit. The first section will be fully in person meeting for lectures on Thursdays from 2:30-5:20pm PST with a one hour in person quiz section on Fridays for small group activities. The second section is a fully virtual section with virtual lectures on Tuesdays from 11:30am-2:20pm PST and then virtual synchronous quiz sections for one hour on Fridays. Asynchronous accomodations for lecture can be easily coordinated (synchronous participation in the one hour quiz section on Fridays is required). See the attached flyers for additional information and as a tool to share with students.

For students who have already taken EDUC 215, recommend our new course EDUC 216: Thriving on the Path to Happiness. This new course will follow the same format as EDUC 215 and build on the skills learned in the first class to help students experience more joy, build stronger relationships, cultivate a growth mindset, and increase opportunities for success and development in personal and professional endeavors.

EDUC 216 will be offered on Wednesdays from 2:30-5:20pm PST with one hour quiz sections on Fridays. As with EDUC 215, EDUC 216 is a 5 credit course that provides SSc credits. EDUC 215 (or equivalent) is a prerequisite class for EDUC 216. See the attached flyer for additional details.

For the first time in spring 2024, we will be offering a new 5 credit seminar for students who have taken EDUC 215 and 216 called EDUC 317: Emotion Regulation: Dialectics and Application. In EDUC 217, we will take a deep dive into the biological and experience component of many different emotions and think about how to skillful manage them in the context of different professional settings. EDUC 317 will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30-10:50am for SSc and writing credit. See the attached flyer for additional details.

And for the second time in spring 2024, we will also be offering a 5 credit seminar for students who have taken EDUC 215 and 216 called EDUC 381: Interpersonal Effectiveness and Coaching in Social Emotional Learning. In EDUC 381, we will learn how to teach and coach others in building their own social-emotional skills while also maintaining our own wellbeing so we don't burn out. EDUC 381 will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30am-1:50pm for SSc and writing credit. See the attached flyer for additional details.

All four classes will also be a part of the new Education Studies open enrollment, minimum requirement major<https://education.uw.edu/bachelor-arts-education-studies> <https://education.uw.edu/bachelor-arts-education-studies> starting in the fall of 2024.

EDUC 215 Wellness and Resilience for College, Beyond and EDUC 216 Thriving on the Path to Happiness, EDUC 381 Interpersonal Effectiveness and Coaching in Social Emotional Learning, and EDUC 317 Emotion Regulation: Dialectics and Applications allow students to work towards their best lives while earning course credit! Remember to recommend these classes before they fill up!

Please note that I receive a high volume of emails and do my best to respond to them promptly during school day hours. Typically I am able to respond within two school days; however, during particularly high volume email times such as the beginning and end of the quarter, responses may take me a bit longer. If I have not responded to your email within one week, please feel free to email me again as your email may have gotten lost in my inbox; this is not personal, just a function of the fact that I teach hundreds of students each quarter. If you have an urgent matter, please use other means to contact me if you are one of my graduate students and/or put URGENT in your subject line to alert me that a faster response is warranted. Thank you for your understanding.

We acknowledge our presence on the lands of indigenous peoples who have lived here since time immemorial and who thrive in this place - alive and strong.  The University of Washington occupies lands of the Duwamish and Coast Salish peoples, land which touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot nations.

 This land acknowledgement is one small act in the ongoing process of working to be in good relationship with the land and the people of the land.
