The Formative Five Success Skills for Students and Staff

What's the secret to making schoolwide SEL work?

Growing numbers of people recognize that social-emotional learning (SEL) is central to a well-rounded education and to success in life outside and beyond the school building. What's missing is the know-how and framework for weaving SEL into the fabric of the school.

In this highly practical and eminently readable book, Thomas R. Hoerr shows teachers, administrators, and other school staff how to integrate the Formative Five success skills (empathy, integrity, self-control, embracing diversity, and grit) with school culture essentials by answering these questions:
 * 1. How can you ensure that your school or district is helping students develop their SEL skills across disciplines? Address your values, vision, mission.
 * 2. What effective programs and activities support student development of SEL skills at the classroom, school, and district levels? Consider your practices.
 * 3. How can you leverage personal relationships within the school and in the community to cultivate students' appreciation of how the differences among us make us stronger? Involve your people.
 * 4. How can you weave an SEL narrative into your school's culture? Live your narrative.
 * 5. What can you do to establish and nurture a welcoming school environment as you strive to enhance students' SEL skills? Embrace your place.



Replete with real-life examples from the author's years as a school leader, relevant findings from the research, and helpful strategies for use at all levels and with all K-12 populations, Taking Social-Emotional Learning Schoolwide is the ultimate blueprint for making sure students and staff are equipped to thrive.

Strategies to Help Your Students Thrive

Today's teachers face a daunting challenge: how to ensure a positive school experience for their students, many of whom carry the burden of adverse childhood experiences, such as abuse, poverty, divorce, abandonment, and numerous other serious social issues. Spurred by her personal experience and extensive exploration of brain-based learning, author Marilee Sprenger explains how brain science--what we know about how the brain works--can be applied to social-emotional learning. Specifically, she addresses how to* Build strong, caring relationships with students to give them a sense of belonging.* Teach and model empathy, so students feel understood and can better understand others.* Awaken students' self-awareness, including the ability to name their own emotions, have accurate self-perceptions, and display self-confidence and self-efficacy.* Help students manage their behavior through impulse control, stress management, and other positive skills.* Improve students' social awareness and interaction with others.* Teach students how to handle relationships, including with people whose backgrounds differ from their own.* Guide students in making responsible decisions.Offering clear, easy-to-understand explanations of brain activity and dozens of specific strategies for all grade levels, Social-Emotional Learning and the Brain is an essential guide to creating supportive classroom environments and improving outcomes for all our students.
