Developing Emotionally Literate Staff: A Practical Guide

by Elizabeth Morris, Julie Casey

My feeling is that this is what some struggling institutions need'-. Times Educational Supplement Extra for Special Needs. Emotionally literate schools show better learning outcomes for children, improved attendance, reduced behavioural challenges, good relationships, improved recruitment and retention and have a well-motivated, effective and less stressed workforce. In this practical book, Elizabeth Morris and Julie Casey provide everything you need to begin to create an emotionally literate ethos within your school, and give you tools to develop emotionally literate staff and practices in your school over the course of a year. It is packed with practical tools to help: o assess and measure the current 'emotional temperature' of the setting, and evaluate progress. o all staff in the setting develop the knowledge, confidence and key skills necessary for supporting children's social, emotional and behavioural development. It contains a range of flexible training modules to create a programme of CPD through staff meetings and INSET.
