Teachers must prepare students to succeed in life, not just to do well in school. Based on the best-selling book The Formative Five, this quick reference guide presents the five social-emotional skills students need most: empathy, self-control, integrity, embracing diversity, and grit. These skills enable students to play meaningful roles as team members and leaders in every endeavor and any setting.
