Making Emotions Make Sense: Lessons on Emotional Intelligence

Our emotions shape how we learn, connect, and thrive. Imagine if we could explicitly teach emotional awareness and regulation to both educators and students while still addressing curricular outcomes. What would shift? What impact could it have on classroom climate, relationships, and well-being. In this session, we share research insights from the 'How Are You Feeling' program delivered in CALM classes across an urban Alberta setting. Together, we explored what students already understood about their emotional systems, where key gaps existed, and how those gaps might be addressed. Delegates will leave with a better understanding of the nuances within the emotional system, as well as the impact the 'How Are You Feeling' program had on school aged participants. The best part... not only does the content meet curricular outcomes, it's also totally FREE for schools and teachers to use. Come discover the profound impact of understanding your feelings, authentic communication, the cost of emotional avoidance as well as the path to emotional resilience!
