Practical strategies for developing emotional intelligence, resilience and positive learning behaviours.
As educators, you already know your subjects. But in today’s high-pressure classrooms, the biggest barriers to success are often student anxiety and challenging behaviours. Research shows that the right emotional context is a prerequisite for learning. This webinar flips the script on classroom management using Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Discover how your own emotional regulation sets the tone for the room, and how building strong connections unlocks student resilience. Walk away with practical micro-strategies to protect your energy and build confidence.
Co-hosted by Empower-Ed and MyGrow, with Theran Knighton-Fitt as the featured speaker.
