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.

Educator Thomas R. Hoerr highlights the following:

- What the skills are and what they are not.
- Why they are important.
- How educators can teach them.

This guide's strategies and suggestions will aid teachers as they help students develop the social-emotional skills that will enable them to work with others and achieve their potential.
