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)
