...I think I can... I know I can... Week 4 of prac over and one to go. Ive been loving this school. They have the Bounce Back program embedded in their school amongst an amazing ethos and school culture. Im studying Social Emotional Learning in my Psych subject now. So a timely prac in many ways. SEL or EI (emotional intelligence) is about kids knowing themselves, knowing how to communicate with others appropriately and expanding this further using these skills to problem solve in a social and communication setting, which helps create a resilient person with GRIT. We cant teach grit you either have it or you dont - other end of the scale is a neurotic person ... But traits can be fostered and developed. Including it into the everyday fabric of the school life, the way everyone at the school communicates and conducts themselves and blending it seamlessly into the curriculum has seems to really make a massive impact. Kids need to be able to read others as well as be able to read words. Being emotionally healthy and being respected and respectful seems to be a great advantage in a school setting. Bounce Back has seemed a novel add on in some schools but here its really a live and breathe involvement and wow - its working.
