This workshop will share a powerful case study on how the Mood Meter—a research-backed tool for building emotional intelligence—transformed student behavior in an early childhood classroom and beyond. We’ll dive into how incorporating the Mood Meter into daily routines helped young learners develop self-awareness, regulate their emotions, and interact more positively with their peers.
The case study follows a preschool classroom where students initially struggled with expressing emotions, managing outbursts, and navigating social interactions. By consistently using the Mood Meter, teachers supported children in identifying their feelings, understanding their emotions, and practicing healthy coping strategies. Over time, the students showed greater self-regulation, stronger peer relationships, and fewer frustration-driven behaviors.
Navigating tricky conversations with those in positions of power - whether school leaders, parents, or other authority figures - can be challenging (and intimidating!). This workshop explores power dynamics in feedback & communication within a school environment.
Through discussion, reflection, and practical strategies, participants will learn to feel more confident in conversations with the people who shape school environments.
