The Emotional Literacy Pocketbook starts with the role of emotions in the development of children, young people and adults. It goes on to look at how by connecting thinking and feeling in the classroom, teachers can help young people to use their emotions to enrich learning.
Later sections look at creating learning communities where everyone contributes to the learning of everyone else, and at improving classroom conversations, for example through thinking time, circle time, philosophy for children, peer support, etc. A final chapter explores how teachers can develop their own emotional literacy to ensure they are responsive to the learning needs of their pupils, and so enjoy their work more.
