Course Description

2 Clock Hours
Often considered a “soft skill,” emotional intelligence is the practice of monitoring a person’s own emotions as well as other people’s emotions. Young children are still practicing this skill and require more support and learning opportunities as they develop. This course will define emotional intelligence and give educators the tools and information they need to support children through their emotional intelligence journeys. Included are peer discussions, worksheets, videos, strategies, and more.
