Читать книгу Social-Emotional Learning and the Brain - Marilee Sprenger B. - Страница 11

As I discovered which brain structures and chemicals were involved in the SEL competencies mentioned previously, the next step was to find strategies that would activate the brain in the same way. Explanations of those strategies make up much of the content of this book. However, in addition to incorporating SEL strategies into their instruction, teachers need to examine the SEL competencies for themselves. As I worked on each chapter, I asked myself questions such as these: How self-aware am I? Can I name and tame my emotions? Do I make sure I am aware of my students' perspectives? How can I teach students to handle relationships with others if I may be having relationship issues myself? Do I make responsible decisions when I am interacting at school? Here is an overview of the chapters that follow.
