SEL Conversation Bundle - Toni Morrison on Self-Determination

Some say that children should be the focus because their minds are more easily shaped and influenced; others suggest that adults-- who are actually in positions of power and influence-- should take front-and-center importance to our efforts to change minds and improve the world.

SEL Conversation Bundle - Margaret Mead on Civic Responsibility
When students hear the mantra “You can make a difference in the world,” there’s often an eye-roll. Students struggle to see how the actions of a few can have big consequences for many. The fallout of this attitude is that many won’t decide to participate in that school-wide fundraiser, start that club, or vote in the next election. The impulse to remain apathetic is strong but, as Mead reminds us, it just takes a different way of thinking to liberate us to act.The theme of this conversation is C

SEL Conversation Bundle - Ralph Waldo Emerson on Respect
Students learn a great deal about respect inside the classroom walls. Not only do they pay attention to how their teachers and classmates treat them, but they also carry expectations for how they should act in return. Mutual respect in the classroom is a noble goal in theory, but hard to achieve because either the student or the teacher is unable to hold up his/her end of the deal. Without mutual respect, learning is elusive and the classroom is quickly gripped by misbehavior and personal confli

SEL Conversation Bundle - Lord Chesterfield on Goal-Setting
Setting life goals is an activity we encourage young people to do. The thinking goes like this: if you set goals for your future, then you will become happier and successful because you know what you want. That being said, though, it's very unclear just how we should plan out our lives, whether it is better to set small, attainable goals or shoot for long-term goals which are harder to see but inspire us to do the daily work necessary. Goal-setting is an extremely important skill in school, work
