Sorry about my untimely answer... In the coming weeks I hope to answer some of your thoughts and questions around the subject of 'HOW'. Did you see the Grid activity? Even though it is only a content piece, it is powerful in terms of results. Context AND content is key here. More to come! Trin Ashley, Thank you for your timely note.

As the chair of my school’s character education committee, I am working to implement an SEL program tailored to my school’s specific wants and needs. Because most of the faculty members are unfamiliar with SEL and what it entails, I have been looking for resources that simply and effectively communicate the foundation of IQ, EQ, and SQ. I have been following your posts daily and they could not have been better timed given that I’m trying to introduce my school community to SEL. In reading your recent blog posts, I find that I’m in agreement with most of the statements you’ve made. However, the lingering question is “How???” I’m unsatisfied when I hear the response that we, as faculty, are simply supposed to model this behavior. I’m not sure we necessarily know what it is we are supposed to be modeling for our students when it comes to EQ and SQ. That’s not to say that I do not believe we are not aiding our students in their EQ and SQ development; rather, I am doubtful that we’re aware of exactly the impact that we are making on our students in this regard. Another wall that I’m trying to climb in order to implement an SEL program at my school has to deal with the face value that colleges place on an SQ and EQ. The school, at which I teach, is an independent, college-prep, day school. Because there is no slot for an EQ or SQ score on a college application, I find it difficult to draw faculty buy-in to the importance of an SEL program. I am hopeful that some of your future posts will address these issues. Either way, I look forward to seeing what is coming down the pipeline in the near future on this topic!
