Social & Emotional Learning

Emotional intelligence involves the capacity to be aware of (mindfulness) and control one's emotions. Teachers who model humility and gratitude play a role in creating collaborative, forward-thinking cultures in classrooms; students who are humble can recognize their own strengths and limitations and value the contributions of others to their lives. And just a small offering of appreciation can transform relationships and boost student self-worth.
