Description
by Amy McConnell Franklin, Ph.D.
A step-by-step teaching guide for fostering emotional intelligence in the classroom.
Dr. Franklin has taught the concepts and skills of EI to teachers and parents in the USA and internationally since 2003. Â This new book is a primer to help teachers and school systems begin to create more compassionate, interactive, safe and successful school environments.
“Teaching EI practices in our school program sends the message that how we treat one another is as important as how well we read and write. Â I cannot imagine a school program without EI. Â In today’s world, assuring students have a vocabulary and skill set for emotional success must be seen as part of the academic expectations.”
Dr. Sheryl E. Cohen, Director, Stephen S. Wise Temple Early Childhood Center, Los Angeles, CA
“Dr. Franklin has used EI to build the capacity of our teachers and parents to broaden their understanding of the challenges they have in communicating and guiding our young people. Â EQ is like a ripple in the pool of community creating waves that spread out including many and impacting all. Â We thank Amy for the powerful tools she shares.”
Elizabeth Crittenden, Director, Taos Community Foundation
