Gaming Curriculum to Develop SEL Skills and College & Career Readiness
An esports league has launched a free high school curriculum to help teachers use gaming to boost student learning. Gaming Concepts, from the High School Esports League (HSEL), was written as a turnkey curriculum that almost anyone with even rudimentary computer skills can teach. The content covers learning standards in areas such as careers in gaming, maintenance of healthy practices, self-management, and interpersonal communications, as well as an overview of esports gaming and complete lesson plans. In April 2019 Microsoft introduced an hour-long online course for educators to help them learn more about esports and ways it can be used to teach college and career readiness, as well as social–emotional skills. The new curriculum, Gaming Concepts, is openly available as a downloadable PDF file on the HSEL website.
