Assignment task:
According to Heller, over the past two decades, researchers have gathered a wealth of evidence showing the critical roles that emotional intelligence plays in education, work, and life. But what does it look like to translate that research into practice? In this interview, Yale University's Marc Brackett takes stock of recent efforts to help K-12 educators address the emotional side of teaching and learning.
After reading "On the science and teaching of emotional intelligence: An interview with Marc Brackett" in Module 1: Lecture Materials & Resources, please answer and discuss the following.
What is the mission the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence?
Brackett indicates that a large percentage of high school students surveyed experience negative emotions much of the time they're in school. Tell how this fits or does not fit with your school? What are the consequences to students?
What does Brackett mean by "RULER" and how does it promote emotional and social learning?
Describe the "Mood Meter" discussed by Brackett and how it is used?
Describe how you would apply either "RULER" or the "Mood Meter" in your school?
Use one additional citation of Brackett's work (either an article or a video in addition to the current article), cite it, and give a brief description of it.
