Preparing students for life success, requires a balanced education that includes social and emotional education. It is important that families, schools and communities come together to achieve this. This article is researching the positive effects, of social and emotional learning of students in kindergarten to eighth grade. This article summarizes three reviews of research on the impact of social and emotional learning (SEL) programs on elementary school and middle age school students. These programs promote social and emotional skills (Weissberg, Taylor, Schellinger, Payton, Pachan, Dymcicki and Durlak, 2008). The SEL programs showed many benefits in both school and after-school settings for students with and without behavioral and

Developing social emotional competencies is believed to be the key to success in both the academic and social spheres of life. SEL enhances children 's self-management, problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills, including pro-social values and attitudes about self and others. These prerequisite skills are necessary for children to be active and successful learners at school and to engage in fulfilling peer and teacher interactions (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning., 2008; DEEWR, 2009; Zins, Bloodworth, Weissberg, & Walberg, 2004). For example, children who are being bullied or

Social and emotional learning (SEL) forms an important part of the Australian Curriculum and is increasingly becoming a focus for primary schools due to the rising number of primary school students with mental health issues. KidsMatter Primary (KMP) is a national Australian Government SEL program developed in conjunction with other key stakeholders. Founded on four theoretical models, KMP offers a broad framework which can be tailored by primary schools to meet a wide range of needs. Research has found KMP to provide benefits in both mental health and wellbeing, and academic achievement.

According to one study (Greenberg et al., 2003), a large population of students who lack in social-emotional competence often experience difficulty in learning and/or disrupt the learning environment of their peers. After school programs help to stimulate that social-emotional competence by allowing the students to participate in diverse activities. By doing this, the student establishes a sense of belonging, which is essential in that when young people become aware that they are genuinely cared for by program peers and leaders, they begin to feel a connection to the program (Martin et al., 2016). In doing this, researchers found that efforts to prevent problems in young people are the most beneficial when the efforts are coordinated with “explicit attempts to enhance their competence, connections to others, and contributions to their community” (Greenberg et al., 2003). According to Brock (2016), children who are not able to adapt as quickly as their peers experience a stressful change, which then characterizes them to be at risk for poor classroom functioning. This behavior causes for these children to be labeled (or in many cases, mislabeled) by their peers, teachers, parents,

Emotional competence refers to how an individual identifies, expresses, understands, regulates and uses his emotions (Boyatzis,2008). According to Daniel Goleman (1995,1998), he suggests 5 domains in emotional competence which is self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, relationship management and social awareness.

During growth and development children are expected to meet certain milestones at specific ages. No two children are exactly alike. Children grow and develop at their own pace. However, parents or primary care providers may notice slow or absent growth and development in a child. Developmental screenings take place initially. When abnormal growth and development are noted; a developmental assessment is warranted. The developmental assessment will aid in recognition of the development and growth concern. Also, prevent any further delays and enabling prompt and essential interventions to take place; to enhance growth and development. The developmental assessment will examine cognitive, language, motor, and social-emotional skills (Burns, Dunn, Brady, Starr, & Blosser, 2013).

Daniel Goleman and Richard Boyatz (2008) article entitled "Social Intelligence and the Biology of Leadership" discussed the importance of having social and emotional intelligence in leadership behaviors. Manager's that displayed these characteristics were seen to relate more to their staff members and was able to lead more effectively. However, a manager that lacked social and emotional intelligence struggled with establishing rapport with their teammates, showed little empathy, adaptability, and had trouble managing conflict (cite pg 5). If a manager does not possess the skills needed to operate efficiently, the skills could be learned with constant reiteration and mentoring. Daniel Goleman (1998) states "emotional intelligence not only distinguishes outstanding leaders but can

The cornerstones of healthy social development are the abilities to form quality relationships, emotionally regulate, and solve problems with others. In order for students to be successful and flourish, they must develop these skills. In order to develop these skills, children must work their way through several developmental stages. Erik Erikson defined eight stages of development that were characterized by a specific developmental crisis. For the purposes of this essay, I will only discuss those stages within which I may have students, the third, fourth, and fifth stages.

The term emotional intelligence was first used by Wayne Payne in 1985. Origins of concept of emotional intelligence lie in writings of Edward Thorndike (1920) who used the term social intelligence to describe the extent of one’s ability to relate to other people. Mayer and Salovey (1993) defined emotional intelligence as the ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth. Daniel Goleman, who is credited for popularizing the concept in his book Emotional Intelligence in 1995. He gave hierarchical model proposes five emotional competencies: (1) the ability to identify and name one’s emotional states and to understand the link between emotions, thought

What is empathy? Empathy is “the feeling that you understand and share another person’s experiences and emotions: the ability to share someone else’s feelings; the projection of one’s own personality into the personality of another in order to understand him better” (“Empathy”, 2014).

Self-management, The Self-Management group of EI abilities embrace six competencies the are the Emotional Self-Control competence, which manifests largely as the absence of distress and disruptive feelings. The kindergarten children have ability to manage their relationship with other in the classroom.

In the book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, the central thesis that he tries to point out is that emotional intelligence may be more important than I.Q. in determining a person's well being and success in life. At first I didn't know what Goleman was talking about when he said emotional intelligence, but after reading the book I have to say that I agree completely with Goleman. One reason for my acceptance of Goleman's theory is that academic intelligence has little to do with emotional life. To me, emotions can be just as intelligent as your I.Q. In this essay I hope to provide sufficient evidence to show why I agree with Goleman's thesis on emotional intelligence.

Why do some people with a lower intelligence (IQ) do better than those with a high IQ? How do they get more breaks, have more opportunity, and have more beneficial relationships than someone who can outscore them on every test? The answer is simple. They have mastered one key to success that many people have not: emotional intelligence.

This paper is based on my personal experience and theory or idea of experts who talks about emotional competence. Personally, this topic is one of the most important factor to be a tomorrow’s ‘leader’ because people who have high emotional competence are not named leaders; however, all leaders tend to have high EC. What is emotional competence? EC is the ability to correctly recognize, effectively utilize, and appropriately manage or express emotions. 1 Although this term can be defined by many ways, it can be composed of five specific components. These five factors are first part of this paper and next and the last will be unique reflection according to my life story.
