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.

Learning Outcomes:

• Defend your opinion on emotional intelligence versus cognitive intelligence
• State the importance of emotional intelligence
• Analyze examples of social and emotional learning lesson plans
• Define emotional intelligence
• Choose the benefits of strong emotional intelligence in young children . ​
