During the process of writing Building the Resilient School (2020), we determined that a 5th seed of hope was necessary to capture the essential social-emotional assets needed for postsecondary success. 1. Focus on evidence of competence 2. Predictability and consistency in environment and communication. 3. Positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). 4. Social-emotional learning curriculum taught in all classrooms. 5. Regular use of class circles/class meetings/community problem solving. 6. Regular use of mindfulness exercises and self-regulation tools. 7. Efforts to boost internal and environmental protective factors |
