Leadership Development

BUILDING FOR CHANGE

Leadership Development

Leadership development in the context of the SEE Learning program emphasizes equipping educational leaders with skills and knowledge essential for effective implementation of social and emotional learning (SEL) initiatives.
 
This domain involves creating comprehensive leadership support plans, engaging leaders in SEL facilitator training, and integrating SEL practices into the school’s daily operations. 
 
The approach fosters a culture of SEL within educational settings by designating dedicated leadership roles for SEL implementation, broadening support roles to foster program growth, and advocating for SEL in various educational contexts. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of including SEL training in leadership onboarding and involving upper administration in these efforts. This holistic approach aims to create an educational environment conducive to the social, emotional, and academic development of both students and staff.
