“On Point” host Tom Ashbrook leads a discussion on the importance of teaching social emotional intelligence in schools. Guests discuss how significant research and data show that teaching social emotional intelligence increases academic performance by 11%, while at the same time improving student behavior. Teachers also say that including these lessons in the school day helps reduce their own stress and improve their focus. The importance of fitting emotional intelligence lessons into an already tight school day, and doing so repeatedly, is mentioned several times. Our new program, In Focus: Improving Social and Emotional Intelligence, One Day at a Time, is designed to meet this specific need. The book contains concise, daily lessons that can easily be conducted in 10-15 minutes.
