Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain, reflect, and refine the social emotional practices within Eagle Necessities, a middle school advisory program. By studying the implementation process at Hogwarts, we hope to provide insight into the struggles and necessary reflection required to sustain positive outcomes of an organizational transformation. Currently, we have a working draft of this paper based on data we collected for a school project. Our goal is to publish this in a practitioner journal to help others understand our trials and tribulations so that they can learn from our mistakes.
