Notes from EQ for Educators Certification: Day 2

GOOD MORNING!
We shared out lesson plans for SEL instruction.

THE 18 BRAIN TALENTS
The 6Seconds model for understanding how our brains work conceives different functions as 18 different talents or "apps." 
-Posed with the question of which talents we thought were most important for our students to learn, our group landed on: Collaboration, Problem Solving, and Resilience. Other groups highlighted Entrepreneurship, Connection, as well as ones that we chose. 

Collaboration: To build effective relationships, you balance multiple needs and create the right emotions for people to get in synch.
Problem Solving: To get results fast, you focus both on the present and future and create the emotional energy to go.
Resilience: To overcome obstacles, you identify opportunities and take ownership of solutions.























UNDERSTANDING OUR BRAIN TALENT PROFILES
6Seconds utilizes self reporting surveys to analyze our brain functioning and recognize our brain's preferred functions or talents.
By understanding our brain's talents, we can envision how we can utilize them in various scenarios. How can you use your brain's talents to have a successful parent conference?

SEI DASHBOARD
The dashboard can analyze the collective emotional intelligence of a group or organization. The infographic can demonstrate how tightly or loosely knit a group is in regards to the collective talents, drivers, and similarity in performance areas. 

















This data is meant to be conducive of conversation for growth and evolution, not necessarily to label a group with a fixed set of talents or qualities. What does your dashboard report say about your community? What is working? What would you like to change?

BEST PRACTICES FOR USING EQ DATA (as identified by the staff)
-Identify strengths
-Reflect. Iterate. Reflect. Iterate. 
-Create engaging activities that leverage the strengths to develop growth areas
-Maintain transparency of teacher's own emotional growth
