Culture and Climate Corner
More times than not our scholars need social and emotional skills to succeed in school and in life. We attempt to shape scholars’ behavior to increase self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These skills are shown to reduce emotional distress, prevent conduct problems, and contribute to higher academic achievement.
Social and emotional skills are also critical in building trusting relationships with each other and they encourage students to be engaged in school. We are constantly shaping behavior through our words, and actions. Even subtle facial expressions, voice tone, and body language signal positive intentions.
Here are a few ways that we here Global Leadership Academy West work endlessly to shape pro-social behaviors.
- Intentionally build relationships with scholars
- Directly and frequently teach positive expectations and acknowledge prosocial behavior
- Instill logical consequences when correcting off-task behaviors
- Conflicts are resolved by dialogue that gets at the root of the conflict and identifies best ways to move forward
Global Greatness Important Tidbit for the Week:
Remember that when providing LiveSchool points to scholars, we should acknowledge the scholar, state the expectation, then provide a LiveSchool point. Points may still be provided for the entire class if truly earned but it should be aligned with a singular expectation. This practice, however, should only be utilized in special cases.
