8 to Great
The Powerful Process for Positive Change
What is 8 to Great; The Powerful Process for Positive Change?
In a nutshell ... it is a set of strategies to leverage positive psychology to support social-emotional learning. For us, this becomes "Adult SEL"!
(see pg. 9 of IA SEL Competencies)
Everyone is looking for the right PROCESS — outside of the classroom you may be trying to lose weight, make more money, find true love — inside the classroom, you may be trying to close the gap, engage students, identify lagging skills, de-escalate challenging behavior, meet supervisor expectations — and maintain a positive attitude through it all. While most self-help texts only offer the ingredients for success, MK Mueller’s 8 High-Ways are powerful and practical and are really 8 life skills that the happiest and most successful adults use every day.
The course connects with Iowa’s Social-Emotional competencies and covers decision-making, full responsibility, an FGH* positive attitude formula and crucial communication skills. Participants will grow in resilience and self-respect while learning how to handle strong emotions.
*You’ll learn all about how Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Hope work together in Module 6!
