Emotional Awareness

Emotional awareness is the ability to identify and understand our own emotions as well as the emotions of those around us. This awareness falls under the larger umbrella of "Emotional Intelligence" and can benefit students both academically and socially.

Students Do Better in School When They Can Understand, Manage Emotions

According to research published by the American Psychological Association, students who are better able to understand and manage emotions do better at school than less skilled peers. Students with high emotional intelligence were better able to manage negative emotions and navigate their social world.

Tip of the Month

Young people learn about emotional intelligence from two main sources: their parents and their educators. One of the best ways to teach emotional intelligence in your classroom is by setting a good example with your own emotions. Be aware of your own emotions and how you manage them in front of students.

Educators can also help develop students' emotional intelligence by giving space for students to express their own emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Learn more about What You Can Do to Bring Emotional Intelligence Lessons into the Classroom.
