Welcome to sfe4u! Solution-focused Education

Welcome to sfe4u, Kerstin Måhlberg´s and Maud Sjöblom´s new international meeting space for everybody interested in Solution-focused Education.
Are you looking for efficient tools to develop your school you have come to the right place. Solution-focused Education is a very proactive way of working and thinking for educational professionals in order to promote and reinforce positive behavior in the classroom. SFE is a
pedagogical approach that supplies professionals with an adaptable and powerful tool-box. It shows how to make best use of the power of language, the actual language we use when thinking.
We are certain that Solution-focused language can help every one of us face life’s challenges with more strength and creativity than we ever thought possible. The impact of language on the way we think, feel, and act is of more immediate interest than ever. Our attitudes depend on how we think, talk and reason with ourselves, as well as how we perceive our surroundings. Thinking of problems – you create problems. Thinking of possibilities – you create possibilities. SFE nurture both intellectual and emotional intelligence. SF language becomes our key in working effectively together with pupils, their parents and with our colleagues.

We are giving a workshop at the EBTA conference in Lyon
26 sep 2008, and showing the SFE-Focus DVD.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we can offer an English version of the Lip-Focus DVD.
Lip-Focus or SFE-Focus is a newly created programme for all schools wanting to raise the quality of lerarning and improve the positve working environment in the classroom.
Lip-Focus "feedback and coaching to develop the school" We have recorded a Swedish DVD (with English subtitle) showing a SFE-coach in action - working together with the teacher - in a class-room with this innovative program designed to enhance the quality of education. The thinking behind this approach is borrowed from many of the principles based on the Solution-focused Practice. The DVD shows examples from the 4 main elements that are essential to the programme: SF-observations, giving positive feedback to pupils, negotiating and setting class goals, scaling. There is another very important part in the programme .... coaching to teachers and other staff.
