Part 2. Curriculum Framework

The second part of the PSsmile course is dedicated to the illustration of the curriculum framework and teaching strategies devised to improve parents, teachers and students socio-emotional competencies.

The course follows the structure devised within the PSsmile project, which divides the socio-emotional competencies within 4 domains and 2 overarching components:

1. Self-awareness

2. Social awareness

3. Self-management

4. Relationships skills

The overarching components are called "Responsible Decision-Making"  and "Time perspective". They aim to build a future-oriented mindset that helps participants take responsible decisions and behaviours. 

Going through Part 2, parents and teachers will increase their socio-emotional competences and they will learn some exercises to adopt with children either in class or at school.

Module 2 involves an introductory chapter, illustrating the curriculum framework and a specific chapter for each domain, proposing some exercises that participants will be invited to do on their own before adopting them in class.
