Emotional Intelligence

In this hurried world, teachers, students and school communities understand the
need for and importance of relationships with self and others. Emotional and social
intelligences are deeply embedded in the foundation of 21st century skills and learning
and are critical underpinnings of digital age literacy, inventive thinking and effective
communication. If we expect students to be self-directed learners and expect them to
self-manage, self-monitor and self-modify, then we must be prepared to guide these
expectations through informed practice. The workshop will give teachers an opportunity
to help students to discover their strengths and needed areas for development in their
personal and metacognitive toolbox.
