Part 6/10:
Tulsa Principal Robert Kaiser underscores the importance of developing social-emotional skills both in and outside the classroom. Skills such as collaboration, goal-setting, and optimistic problem-solving are essential for life success. For example, tools like the "Mood Meter," a simple color-coded grid, enable students to recognize and regulate their emotions. This emotional awareness fosters resilience and promotes a positive classroom climate, helping students realize that challenges are manageable with the right strategies.
