Overview
Ensuring that children leave school emotionally literate is becoming of increasing concern in the UK, with the introduction of initiatives in both primary and secondary education. This highly practical text provides teachers with strategies and engaging classroom activities which will help teachers to develop their pupils emotional literacy.
Synopsis
"Emotional Literacy is not just about raising your pupils' average scores, although it may well do so, it is also about something much more fundamental than this which is the sustaining, in our pupils, of a lifelong interest in learning whilst promoting their emotional well being." This book is designed to give you advice together with practical information for putting into action ideas about developing emotional literacy within your learning environment as well as opportunities to consider our own emotions as teachers and how these influences change our actions. In doing so the book adopts a generic approach making it appropriate for all teachers, including school managers, who may wish to coordinate the delivery of emotional literacy strategies across the school.
