- “What is school for?” (Seth Godin)

Leading by Example

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and

our freedom.” Viktor E. Frankl

“Integration” Strategy• Books that address SEL• Aligned with Glossary attributes• Aligned to integration strategies

• Create opportunities for retelling– integrating memory; integrating left and right brain

• Create opportunities to pay attention to sensations, images, feelings, and thoughts within them and others

– integrating the many parts of myself; integrating self and other• Create rewarding interactions

– integrating self and other

Demonstration BDGA• Ask Questions: open-ended, interesting,

sequential, variety• Give Directives: encourages curiosity,

persistence, exploration• Self-Talk: describes what you are thinking,

feeling, hypothesizing, wondering, doing

Small Group Activity

Directions• Find a friend• Pick a book that addresses SEL or download Soul Friends• Pick 1-3 attributes (e.g., self-regulation, hope, zest)• Generate a question, a directive, or an example of self-

talk to create an opportunity to teach the attribute while reading the story

• Share with another friend or two, in terms of how you will “amplify” what you are learning

Our Vision…

In Closing…

“I mean, the opportunity that we now have to reimagine everything, to reimagine work, to think of it as productive not only of things, but of well-being, to think of governance in a different way, to think of education in a different way. What an opportunity, what a time to be alive. We’re not

only being, but we’re non-being and becoming.” ~ Grace Lee Boggs
