1. Implementing SEAL: Action Planning

2. Learning from the evidence: key ingredients for implementing and embedding SEAL
Support from above (head, management, governors, parents fully aware of benefits)
Critical mass of staff understanding/supporting rationale for undertaking the work
Clear, negotiated aims for what we are trying to achieve (children who can…). Priorities will vary according to school circumstances
Careful strategic planning to mesh the resource with what is already going on in the school and ’make it your own’
Opportunity for staff to pilot a theme and ‘dip-in’

3. The SEAL Journey Stage 1: Implementing an explicit curriculum
Staff training
Assemblies (primary) and curriculum work
Using the whole school tools in the explicit curriculum
Stage 2: Whole-school SEAL (making SEAL cross-curricular and considering the environment)
Stage 3: Developing a continuum of provision
Small group work
Family and community involvement
Aims:
Introduce SEAL to staff, governors and parents (as a ‘pilot’)
Appoint a SEAL coordinator
Staff understanding and planning for implementation of pilot theme (NEW BEGINNINGS/A PLACE TO LEARN)
Implementation of pilot theme
Staff review
Task: Identify your next steps

5. Good luck on your SEAL journey…
And remember…..
You won’t get where you want to go if you only travel on the sunny days!
