Emotional intelligence mind map, the 1st

I will eventually set up some kind of cooperative learning program for my students, peppered with some academics like reading, math, science, and personal development all rolled into project-based learning activities.

Until then, we are learning strategies to organize our thoughts and regulate our emotions – both of which I am discovering are key areas we need to work on.

I refuse to believe that any student has ‘plateaued’ or can’t learn.

One of my students has come to 3 of the 12 periods we have had so far this year. I need to find a way to get him to stay so I can work with him and convince him he can achieve success at school – he hasn’t had all that much of THAT in his past. I’m meeting with him, his mom, and our administrator later this week.

Good vibes accepted from any who wish to send them :)

Oh, as well as any info on cooperative learning programs, where students learn job skills while they complete stages  :)

    just a single word, your teaching system is quite good. If I might be a student and you are my teacher…

    Thanks
