Synopsis

I Know MySELf is an essential Social Emotional Learning (SEL) resource for elementary school students and teachers. By focusing primarily on the SEL competency of Self-Awareness, this collection of thought-provoking journal prompts, based on the Illinois SEL state standards, inspires students to reflect on who they are as individuals and what makes them unique. I Know MySELf provides a blank canvas for student self-expression while allowing them to respond in a way that is developmentally appropriate and most comfortable for them (ie. drawings, labeled drawings, lists, sentences, or even paragraphs). Considerable research suggests that journaling helps identify and clarify thoughts and feelings, improves Self-Awareness and Self-Management, helps with problem-solving, reduces stress, and supports goal setting and achievement. I Know MySELF has the remarkable potential to guide students and teachers through a journey of Self-Awareness. By examining and seeking to understand who we are in relation to the world we live in, we gain a perspective that leads to social and emotional wellbeing. While the book boasts a host of individual benefits, when used in a classroom, it creates a true sense of community resulting from students and teachers investing time in building relational capacity. Guiding students through a journey of Self-Awareness demonstrates the importance of skills such as self-reflection, the examination of conscience, meaning-making, mindfulness, and the ability to hone in on one’s values and beliefs. Not only does this journal engage students in a journey of self-exploration, it also helps build empathy among group members, and fosters a sense of community and belonging. Students and teachers develop genuine connections through "me too" moments while gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation for similarities and differences. By participating in Circle Share-Outs, authentic student voice becomes the content from which Self and Social Awareness take root organically.
