Full Description
Everyone in your school community benefits when you invest in YOU.
Social-emotional learning is one of the hottest education topics today. Most of the focus, however, has been at the student level. The truth is that school leaders can't implement social-emotional learning effectively if they don't deeply understand it for themselves.
A deeper, renewed self-awareness and understanding of your own and others' emotional needs is the key to promoting social-emotional learning across your school. Exploring and mastering core social and emotional competencies a little at a time with the help of this guide fits perfectly with the daily demands of being a school leader, team leader, or classroom leader. Using the core CASEL skills presented in six modules, this guided journal will help you:
Become more self-aware of what each CASEL skill means for leadership
Build stronger relationships throughout schools, classrooms, and communities
Increase credibility and approachability
Engage stakeholders confidently
Because human growth and leadership go hand in hand, meeting students, teachers, and colleagues where they are at emotionally will begin a ripple effect and leave a lasting impact on your learning community. To do that, however, you must first focus on developing your own SEL skills.
