Description:
Emotional Literacy is the ability to recognize, understand and appropriately express our emotions. Emotions are an integral part of human nature. Through emotions we respond to life in many different ways — with anger, happiness, fear, love and loneliness. Emotions influence our thoughts and actions; they inspire our needs; they affect our bodies and impact on our relationships.
Many schools focus on academic skills such as reading and writing. However, spend less time talking about emotions and how to recognize emotions and work with emotions. Many studies shows that people who deal with emotions in a positive way find tremendous benefit. Emotional Literacy can contribute to health, to positive relationships, to success, and to quality of life.
In this session, authors from California and Taiwan will share their views and resources about emotional literacy particularly from teacher, school leader preparation, and educational technology perspectives.
