SEAL – The 5 domains• Self-awareness: Knowing
and valuing oneself and understanding feelings
• Managing Feelings: People who are good at managing emotions don’t have any less powerful emotions, but they do routinely take responsibility for their feelings and commit to action in trying to handle overwhelming feelings more effectively.
• Motivation:Developing persistence, resilience and optimism. Strategies to achieve goals
• Empathy: Showing fellow feeling or empathy is the basis of all interpersonal skills. An ability to read and tune in to other people’s feelings is a core skill in letting people feel acknowledged and valued.
• Social Skills: This skill incorporates all of the above, but more besides. In recognising that conflict is a part of everyday life, it also covers our ability to manage that conflict in an emotionally literate way.Building, maintaining and improving relationships

SESSION 1
An overview of SEAL, opportunity to share good practice
![Page 6: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Practical Inspiration for SEAL
• Primary SEAL (evaluated programmes)• Long term work in LA’s on SEL e.g. Cumbria,
Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham• Successful whole school approaches
(Healthy Schools, Anti-bullying, Behaviour and Attendance, Diversity
• Successful SEL work elsewhere e.g. Norway (bullying) Australia (resilient schools) US (conflict resolution, problem solving, emotional control, optimism)
![Page 7: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Background of SEAL• Primary SEAL launch• 54 Secondary schools chosen as pilot schools• 11 of the pilot schools visited for 5 terms (Ofsted)• HMI tracked specific classes in Yr 7 or 8• Ofsted inspected quality of training offered to staff
and assessed impact in the classroom• “Developing Social, Emotional and Behavioural
Skills in Sec. Schools” report published July 2007• Secondary SEAL launched September 2007

Changing the view of Social and Emotional Education
• For young children• Responsibility of the
home• SEN/those with
problems• Trouble shooting• Bolt on extra/low
status activity
• Everyone, including adults
• Everywhere, school, home, workplace
• Positives, wellness, growth, strength
• Central to educational goals-learning and behaviour
![Page 9: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What it’s “Not!”
• Contrary to being portrayed by some as teaching manners, a “touchy-feely approach.” SEAL, from the outset, was concerned with improving teaching and classroom organisation.
• Not simply concerned with managing behaviour
![Page 10: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What it is!” (To help teachers develop pupils’ skills in 5
areas)• Self awareness
• The management of feelings
• Motivation (developing persistence, resilience and optimism)
• Empathy
• Social Skills (building, maintaining and improving relationships with others
![Page 11: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SESSION 2
SEAL as a whole school ethos, involving all stakeholders.
![Page 12: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Getting Started (key findings from Ofsted)
• Schools found it difficult conceptualise what “doing SEAL” would consist of
• Resistance from staff• Senior staff’s understanding was pivotal• Pupils’ starting points were difficult to
define• Whole school straight away or start
small and expand?
![Page 13: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Activity: Which adjectives or phrases describe your scenario?
• Group 1: The emotionally literate school (Dream)
• Group 2: The emotionally illiterate school (Nightmare)
• Group 3: The emotionally literate staff-room (Dream)
• Group 4: The emotionally illiterate staff-room (Nightmare)
• Group 5: The emotionally literate staff-meeting (Dream)
• Group 6: The emotionally illiterate staff-meeting (Nightmare)
![Page 14: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Implications
• Senior Leadership Team need to understand SEAL-concepts and practicalities- before introducing it to staff
• Be realistic about likely reaction of staff (link to impact on learning and achievement)
• What do you already know about students?• How good are the skills of your staff?• Whole school capacity?• What are you aiming for? (SEF, SDP)
![Page 15: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Whole School Approach
• Management and Leadership policies• School Climate and Ethos• Physical Environment• Curriculum• Teaching and Learning styles• Pupil support and involvement• Community, parents and outside agencies
![Page 16: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The importance of Leadership
• “The quality of leadership determined success or failure” (Ofsted 2007)
• Senior leaders committed and driving the initiative forwards
• Active promotion of SEAL throughout• If the person leading the programme lacked
seniority, the initiative failed• Emphasis on SEAL priorities, not as a “bolt
on” to PSHE and tutor time
![Page 17: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Clarity-Clear,explicit and positive
• Even if starting small, be clear how SEAL will become a whole school programme/approach
• School audit: What does the school do already to promote SEAL? How do you know?
• Key priorities for development• Keep all stakeholders informed• Managing change
![Page 18: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Build positively on the characteristics of the school
• Challenges:• Size (impersonal)• Subject rather than
child focus• Problem behaviour• Exam orientation
• Assets• Size (Diversity)• Opportunities
offered by subjects• Greater range of
staff skills/strengths• Links to world of
work• Student involvement
![Page 19: Implementing Social, Emotional aspects of Learning (SEAL) Helping pupils develop the skills to manage the wider world](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf861a28abf838c87dbe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Key points from pilot schools
• Plan• Start small• Long term view• Developmental approach• Strong leadership at a range of levels• Consistency, coherent and co ordinated• Non prescriptive, diversity of approach• Integrate with existing practice
