In today’s classrooms, emotional intelligence (EQ) is just as important as academic success.
EQ the ability to understand, manage, and express emotions—helps students build healthy relationships, cope with stress, and make thoughtful decisions.
As educators, we play a key role in fostering emotional intelligence. Simple practices like modeling empathy, encouraging open communication, resolving conflicts peacefully, and incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) into lessons can make a big difference.
When students feel understood, supported, and emotionally safe, they are more engaged, motivated, and ready to learn.
