What are the components of the SEAL approach?
• A whole school theme each term/6 weeks
• Staff development for each whole-school theme
• Whole school/year group assembly to launch the theme
• Curriculum – teaching and learning activities in each year group – spiral curriculum to achieve specific learning outcomes
• Cross-curricular and whole school reinforcement

A little bit of neuroscience!

How do we learn social, emotional and behavioural skills?
• Our cortex starts out with no connections
• By trial and error we learn effective ways to bring about results
• These leave ‘neural pathways’ or ‘networks’
• Those that are repeated grow stronger and more efficient, those that are not used wither and die
• The brain constantly searches for the most efficient way to do achieve results, so will always use the strongest pathways…

Why an explicit curriculum alone is not enough…
• I learn that when someone is in my way I hit them. This is successful in getting them to move out of my way.
• The next time someone is in my way I repeat the behaviour. I continue to repeat the behaviour.
• Someone tells me that it is wrong to hit someone to make them get out the way. They teach me a new strategy – to ask them to move out of the way.
• I continue to use my previous behaviour, unless I am reminded and supported in using the new behaviour.
• With support, I begin to use the new behaviour more..
• Gradually the new behaviour becomes my ‘default’ response, and the old behaviour dies away.

The 20/80 rule
What does the research say? SEAL must be taught (20%) ….
Direct and focused learning opportunities to develop knowledge, understanding and skills

..and caught (80%) A whole school approach
to creating a positive emotional environment in which children feel safe to try out new ways of thinking/behaving.
Adult modelling and scaffolding
SEAL skills reinforced across the curriculum;
Whole school reinforcement e.g. Posters/ Certificates/ Teacher focus
Staff development and well-being
Lessons which develop SEL and promote EHWB
