Module I: Strengthening Your Leadership |
 |
|
|
| |
This module in Ripple Effects for Staff promotes leadership through personal transformation. Personal leadership of implementers has been identified time and again as a critically important factor in program success. It is more important to teacher success than IQ and content expertise combined. |

| Part vision and part skill |
 |
|
| Leadership is part vision, and part skill. |
| The program addresses both, with a focus on key social-emotional abilities that underpin the ability to bond with students from a variety of backgrounds, to command the respect of rebellious youth, to maintain an orderly yet engaging classroom, and to manage feelings of frustration, anger, and disappointment, without burning out - or acting out. |

| Seven key competencies |
|
|
| Ripple Effects for Staff emphasizes development of seven core social-emotional abilities: |
| self-understanding, empathy, assertiveness, connectedness in community, impulse control, management of emotion, and decision-making. These are the same, success-making abilities that students can learn in Ripple Effects student programs |

Learnable abilities |
|
|
|
| While some people have stronger innate social-emotional aptitudes, these abilities can be learned by just about anyone. |
| But only some methods have been proven effective in teaching them. Many more have been discredited, as well intended but ineffective. Even the ones that work are often costly - as much as $75,000 per school. They're dependent on uneven instructor quality, and have to be scheduled in advance, often missing the “teachable moment.” Ripple Effects’ use of computer technology makes research-based, proven effective strategies, directly available to teachers at their moment of greatest need. 48 tutorials (12 contact hours) |
