Product Description:
Emotional Intelligence: One Size Does Not Fit All
Adolescents develop at significantly different rates, especially in terms of emotional intelligence (EI). Introducing the concept of deepening emotional intelligence during adolescence is ideal because it acknowledges the cognitive ability of that particular age group. Secondary schools are the optimal arena for encouraging the purposeful development of EI. Dr. Karen Hanson, Coordinator of Swinburne University's EI and Education Research Institute, provides insight into different models of emotional intelligence. Dr. Hanson discusses the impact of a classroom's physical environment on EI while giving educators practical ways to incorporate EI lessons into a variety of classroom activities.
Definition
Emotional intelligence refers to one's ability to perceive emotions and appraise a situation before expressing said emotions, to tap into feelings as thought generators, and to understand the role of emotions.
Education and Emotional Intelligence
Educators have long recognized that emotional intelligence significantly impacts the lives of adolescents. It is a topic worthy of full integration into the curriculum and can be taught in conjunction with existing subjects. EI is measured by teacher observation and self-evaluation. Educators can access printable resources online to help guide their approach to teaching adolescents about EI.
