#EmotionalIntelligence

It's end of the session and prize-giving/Award presentation day is coming.

As teachers and schools, we should identify children who show empathy and other aspects of Emotional Intelligence and reward them in age-appropriate ways.

Awards should be given to the kindest/most caring /most thoughtful in the class.

Is your school going to reward and motivate Emotional Intelligence through awards to identifiable ambassadors of EQ
(Emotional Intelligence)? 😎

Just how important is Emotional Intelligence(EQ) in our classes?

                               

   





How much higher has your EQ gone since last academic session?

Remember, you cannot give what you don't have and you certainly can't teach what you don't know!

Emotional intelligence enables people to have positive interactions with each other, anticipate other people's thoughts and feelings and show appropriate degrees of empathy.

Research has proved that EQ can be linked to the level of bullying and self esteem found in schools and the society at large.

The higher a person's EQ, the higher the self esteem and the lesser the tendency to become a bully, be affected by bullies, or succumb to drastic actions that will assuage the feeling of low self esteem.

Enable a high level of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in your class, talk to the children, be a living daily lesson... 😎

Organization In The Classroom

Start off the year with one of the things that contribute to successful Classroom management:

 -Good Organization -

Everything inclusive of how you welcome the learners as they come into your classroom,  the class environment,  seating arrangements, lesson planning,  lesson delivery,  class  activities and the way you communicate with your pupils.

It also includes making your expectations clear,  giving them prompt feedback,  involving other adults in the class, all the details down to how the learners leave the class...

 All this must be in an orderly, functional and structured manner to be termed
'good organization of the classroom'

Let your class be tagged 'The Good-organization class' this year.  😎

Why do children have poor academic performance?

We often just judge and get angry and exasperated with learners who perform poorly.
Have we stopped to think of what the cause(s) could be?

What could have happened at home?
What is happening in school?
What is happening in the child's personal world?

What are the signs to look out for (red flags)?

In your experience,  what remedy would you  or your team proffer? 

Remember EVERY CHILD MATTERS!
