Emotional Intelligence

Intensive Training for Lead Learners in Emotional Intelligence

This course is designed for teachers who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in supporting the personal and social development of their pupils. They need to be willing to explore Emotional Intelligence both from the young person's perspective and their own. They will be expected to undertake action research, to share and disseminate their findings and skills with colleagues and become lead teachers of emotional literacy.

Programme Format
Each cohort of participants will undertake 6 training days over the life of the project. The days are paired and will run over 3 terms. Each participant will be expected to attend all training days. Between each pair of training days participants will undertake action research, with feedback and dissemination an integral part of their commitment to the programme.

The programme is designed to thoroughly familiarise participants with the fundamentals and methodologies of Emotional Intelligence for use in school. Links will be made to Accelerated Learning in order that the two programmes complement and support developments. Participants will be prepared for going back into school and applying the learning. Opportunities for presenting their research findings will be an integral part of the programme.
