Description
Developing Emotional Intelligence in the Primary School by Sue Colverd and Bernard Hodgkin is an essential resource for teachers looking to support children's emotional preparation for learning. This book provides practical techniques and activities to help create an emotionally intelligent classroom, fostering self-belief and resilience. The authors offer a framework for building emotional intelligence in children, covering topics such as self-esteem, social intelligence, independence, conflict resolution, and emotional literacy. Practical drama frames are also provided, allowing teachers to develop their own approaches to teaching emotional intelligence. By reviewing and re-assessing their practice, teachers can use this book to generate a culture of openness to learning in the classroom and promote positive behaviour and sociability among pupils.
