New Praise Badges in Microsoft Teams recognize moments of SEL growth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams is the hub for learning, engagement, and collaboration, with built-in tools to tailor learning to student needs. Today, <strong>more than 230,000 education institutions use Teams<\/strong> for remote and hybrid learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now those tools include SEL-specific Praise Badges. Educators can use Praise Badges to recognize student social skills, grow emotional vocabulary, and give valuable recognition to the daily wins in their students\u2019 learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SEL-Transparent-1.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Praise Badges are based on the Big Five model, a well-known SEL framework recently used by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in their global assessment program. Educators can use these badges to recognize specific skills that contribute to the Big Five <strong>personality traits<\/strong>. These skills reflect the entire domain of social-emotional skills, and are intentionally chosen to be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Predictive of success in a wide range of important life outcomes and events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appropriate for 10- to 15-year-olds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparable and relevant across different cultures, languages, and social and school contexts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relevant for the future<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The badges were developed through a human-centered design approach that brought teachers and students directly into the product development process, ensuring that we create useful and authentic tools that will aide in their existing classroom practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Praise Badges are available now in chats and class team channels, with the new SEL-specific badges expected in late September.

The Reflect messaging extension in Teams helps educators connect with their students and implement SEL into the daily class flow\u2014discussions, assignments, projects, and more\u2014through quick check-in questions and polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These check-ins are a simple way to guide students to reflect on and identify how they\u2019re feeling, helping them lead with self-awareness as they participate in collaborative environments like Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for Reflect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/MSReflect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Reflect messaging extension<\/strong><\/a> as an open source resource in GitHub.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/article\/5eb237de-9f49-4003-8d59-3c00598bb318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn how to use Reflect and other Microsoft Education SEL tools<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore free <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/education.microsoft.com\/en-us\/resource\/a885a378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PD resources for educators in the Microsoft Educator Center<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>School IT admins can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/OfficeDev\/Microsoft-Teams-App-Reflect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">access the Reflect source code and deployment guide<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/emotional_check_ins.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/reflect_messaging_extension.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"emotional-expression-the-long-term-impact\">Emotional expression: The long-term impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunities created by Praise Badges, SEL stickers, and Reflect check-ins for students to grow their emotional vocabulary are more than just literacy lessons. Brackett cites the need to develop a rich emotional vocabulary and the power that it can bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brackett also cites the need to develop a rich emotional vocabulary in describing how we and others are feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCritical to SEL is the cultivation of a rich emotion vocabulary,\u201d shared Brackett. \u201cWithout the words, children\u2019s needs can\u2019t be met. Language also is a pathway to regulating emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing emotional vocabulary that enables students to express their needs and self-regulate has a long-term impact, and not just in the school context.

SEL is a key future-ready skill of its own, with a place in school curricula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"educators-prioritize-sel\">Educators prioritize SEL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Educators have always known that SEL is critical for well-being, but they\u2019re low on time, resources, and support needed to implement more SEL in curriculum. In <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/wellbeingresearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>a survey conducted<\/strong><\/a> by Microsoft and <em>The Economist<\/em> on emotion and cognition, 40 percent of educators say they would prioritize these skills if they had more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educators aren\u2019t the only ones expressing the need for greater SEL practice in schools.
