Classroom Management: Developing the Emotional Literacy of Your Students
Abstract
This is a workshop that focuses on demonstrating the theory of emotional literacy. Many classroom management techniques can be short term strategies to deal with fire fighting behaviour issues in the classroom. Emotional literacy strategies can be utilized at almost any age and offer a longer term solution. This workshop will demonstrate, and encourage those attending to evaluate their own emotional literacy. It is important that parents and teachers are self aware of their own emotional literacy, in order to monitor their own behaviours and model useful classroom communication strategies. The workshop will also demonstrate, through interactive tasks, how to build emotional literacy events in to the language classroom.
