Emotional Intelligence. A New Vision for Educators

Description

In Emotional Intelligence: A New Vision for Educators, Goleman makes the case for incorporating emotional intelligence into classrooms and schools, and guides viewers through scenes from a school in Hillsborough, CA, that was among the first in the country to adopt an emotional literacy curriculum. Although emotional intelligence is no longer a new idea, it is no less relevant or significant to education today as it was when it was first introduced. In fact, recent research and studies lend support to the case for teaching students emotional intelligence skills. The data show that test scores and grade point averages increase significantly and disciplinary actions decrease when schools implement social and emotional learning (SEL) programs that promote emotional intelligence. This video will help educators understand what emotional intelligence means, why it matters, and how they can help students develop the social and emotional skills that account for emotional intelligence.
