SCHOOL WIDE MODEL FOR SEL: How It Works
The Self-Leadership Collaborative partners with educators and school communities to:
Understand and practice the core concepts of the Self-Leadership Collaborative to benefit individual well-being and everyday interactions, personally and professionally.
Explore how to authentically integrate and apply the model with their students and the school at large, within the guidelines of the SLC framework.
There are four stages of engagement and collaboration:
INVITATION/ INQUIRY: Key stakeholders as well the wider community partner with SLC to assess the need, connect with a shared vision, and develop a customized plan for sustained culture change.
INTRODUCTION: Whole communities share and explore the core concepts and skills of the SLC.
IMPLEMENTATION: Invested community members participate in in-depth study and application of the model, for personal well being, peer coaching and student growth.
INTEGRATION: Community leaders, formal and informal, champion holistic practice and culture shift, guiding system wide alignment with SLC core principles including for school policy, procedure, curriculum development and intervention and discipline strategy.
There are three ways we engage and partner with educators and school districts:
General Introduction to the SLC model: (Only includes Introduction stage) We present core concepts and simple, practical skills of the model to large and diverse groups in the school community (leaders, teachers, parents, etc.) through 1 - 2 hour presentations.
Specialized Groups: (Can include Introduction and Implementation stage) In-depth, customized workshop series focused for specialized school personnel such as support staff (social workers, school counselors, psychiatrists) as well as health teachers, principals etc.
Systemic Integration: (Includes all 4 stages) The whole community is introduced to the model and then and ambassadors learn, practice and implement the model throughout the district for a comprehensive, sustainable approach.
