Day 1 - Personal SEL and Mindset Mastery (8am - 5:00pm)
Adult SEL Plugins are sixty brain-based, hands-on, and quick team routines that develop adult SEL skills and improve staff culture, all while helping adults achieve their meeting or professional learning objectives more effectively and faster than before! From professional development sessions, grade level meetings, department meetings, professional learning communities, and coaching sessions, to district leader meetings and so on, Adult SEL Plugins ® are 1-15 minute routines that seamlessly integrate into your team learning agendas, no matter what education setting you’re in.
Collaborative settings — Where adult SEL is truly developed: Staff meetings and professional development sessions are the perfect settings to develop adult SEL consistently because this is where adults already meet to collaboratively learn, take risks, make important decisions, innovate, and solve complex problems that help our students succeed. True collaboration requires adults to mobilize their SEL skills in order to achieve team goals. Our sixty routines address all the CASEL Five competencies (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making) with ten plugins per competency and a bonus “community building” competency to strengthen staff culture.
Routines build SEL skill mastery, not a one-and-done, workshops or strategies. Adults need consistent and relevant opportunities to employ their SEL skills, struggle, reflect, receive feedback, and improve their skills together until they become unconscious SEL habits. Our routines target more than just behaviors, but the beliefs, attitudes, and thinking processes that underlie them to ensure long-term behavioral change by infusing powerful techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), cognitive neuroscience, and behavioral psychology.

Who Is This Book For?
Adult SEL Plugins are for education teams that collaborate to learn, make important decisions, innovate, and solve complex problems that help our students succeed at all levels - academically, emotionally, and socially. Since the work of these teams is so complex and difficult, it requires collaboration to succeed, not lone warriors.
For teams to work together effectively, egos, biases, limiting beliefs, ineffective habits, fixed mindsets, and other impeding factors must dissolve and all the 5 SEL competencies must be strengthened in each member: Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Therefore, the very true nature of collaboration requires the employment and development of these SEL skills.
Adult SEL Plugins are perfect for any setting where teams of adults meet to collaborate and innovate solutions: Professional development sessions, whole staff meetings, district-wide meetings, department or grade level meetings, and meetings for counselors, psychologists, speech pathologists, coaches, social workers, administrators, district leaders, classified staff, etc. Whether two adults or one hundred educators meet, these routines still apply.
The Anatomy of An SEL Plugin
Administrator SEL Competence Sets The Foundation
The Administrator's Role
Principals are ultimately tasked with the complex responsibility of creating a caring, healthy school climate that is welcoming, supportive, culturally affirming, and respectful of all members of the school community.
They establish the foundations for positive relationships among all stakeholders, especially the relations among students, teachers, staff members, and the community.
The success of their efforts is contingent on their own social and emotional competence: Can they model these skills effectively and create the vulnerability-based trust it takes for adults and students to succeed? Can they manage their emotions and stress effectively when working with students and adults? Can they hold all adults and students accountable to school norms and expectations effectively, while strengthening strong trusting relationships?
