Developing Emotional IntelligenceExplore how to teach empathy, self-awareness, self-management, motivation, and social skills.
Erasmus+ course summary
Being a teacher has never been only about lecturing facts to a group of students. Because of the time spent with them you have a unique position for a direct impact on their lives, which is especially relevant when they don’t have a good role model. To achieve this, the course focuses on the competencies for building emotional capacity of the students and the tools for working with their psychological needs. We do this trough activities that are ready to use in the classroom. Because the program of the course is a mix of theoretical knowledge supported by practical activities it enables the participants to deepen their understanding through their own experience. "Education is not just about putting information in. We have forgotten that it, in fact, begins in the child’s heart." – Vince Gowmon
