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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Collection of practical ideas from educators who are intentional about SEL
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Of course, it’s well written and enjoyable to read. I feel like I’m sitting down with Tom for coffee talk. (How does he do that?!) What I loved most is the evidence of the MANY intentional and genuine relationships you maintain with educators who have a common mission to use the formative five to positively impact kids, colleagues, schools, communities and the world! There are SO MANY wonderfully powerful ideas from REAL people! You’re not just a guy behind a title telling the folks in the trenches what to do. You’re digging up the folks in the trenches and raising them up to share their stories. 🙌🏻👍🏽👐🏿It’s beautiful!!

    I am working toward a doctorate in educational leadership and used this text for a research project on implementing SEL strategies in my school district. This book has great examples of SEL that are immediately applicable. It is an interesting read with reference to a number of other reads I want to dive into too.

    The author of this book directed school where the importance of social and emotional growth were taught. Children need to learn academic skills but they also need to develop social and emotional skills to succeed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The book every school needs now!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2020
    This book really is such a valuable resource for teachers, principals, instructional coaches, teachers in residence, but most importantly - for all PEOPLE. While this book is a quick read, I found myself reflecting, highlighting and thinking about how this impacts me as a mother and wife. Our world is moving so fast, we put so much emphasis on performance, so it's natural for schools and families to focus on the need for more support in the traditional academics (e.g. math, reading, writing). What Tom Hoerr outlines is the urgent need for the focus to also be on social-emotional learning (SEL). In fact, the evidence is coming out that schools that focus on SEL have improved academic outcomes, as well as a decrease in poor behavior.

    I personally appreciated the integration of key research from so many educators. This helped me think about how I could apply the ideas brought up in Hoerr's book into my own school. In many of the chapters, Hoerr asks the reader to take a survey prior to reading. This really helps you connect to the chapter and consider ways to shift your organization in a healthier direction. This begins to lay out a plan for what the next school year looks like, why you want to make changes, how to have conversations with your superior to pitch the ideas you have and support your ideas with research. As someone who is wanting to improve myself and the school I'm leading, the surveys really were guiding questions that I plan to lead in staff development next year by asking our staff these very questions.

    This quote is one that I think captures why this book is so impactful:
    "Rarely do teachers view their school's culture more positively than their administrators. Because they have different roles and responsibilities, at some level, teachers and administrators should view the world and their school's culture a bit differently; that is not a negative. Yet when it comes to large issues like student discipline, the role of standardized tests, school morale, and teacher engagement, the lack of similar perceptions and assessments indicate a real problem. After all, how can teachers and administrators successfully work to solve a problem if they do not agree on the nature of the problem (or if there even is a problem)? How can teachers stay enthusiastic and engaged if they feel that their input isn't valued, and how can administrators work to change that perception if they are unaware of it? Although different experiences and perspectives can be brought together to forge better solutions, this can only happen if the school's culture supports respect, candor, and an exchange of ideas." (p. 924-5 on Kindle).

    If we want to see improvement in our children, this is definitely a book to read now.
