Skill of the Week: Leadership

This week, we’re focusing on the essential skill of 'Leadership' as described in the Skills Builder framework. At the earliest stages, leadership is about understanding our own feelings, sharing them with others, and recognising the emotions of those around us.

Pupils will be developing their emotional awareness through the use of Zones of Regulation and through identification and use of personalised strategies in their ZOR toolbox. By exploring their own emotions, they will begin to build the skills needed to lead with understanding and compassion.

This focus on emotional awareness also ties in perfectly with Children’s Mental Health Week which is from 3rd - 9th February. It’s a time to reflect on how knowing ourselves helps us grow, both as individuals and as leaders.
