Description

This Teacher Resource Guide accompanies the Emotional Intelligence Senior poster, part of the Wild Teak Studio Thriving Classroom Series.

Designed for teachers working with young people aged 11–16, the guide offers practical ways to introduce and explore the six emotional intelligence skills, helping learners develop greater self-awareness, regulate their emotions, communicate respectfully and build empathy and understanding in their relationships with others.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of the six emotional intelligence skills.
• Discussion questions to encourage self-awareness, thoughtful reflection and a deeper understanding of emotions.
• Practical suggestions for bringing emotional awareness, self-regulation and respectful communication into everyday classroom life.
• Engaging activities that encourage learners to explore their emotional responses, consider different perspectives and practise responding thoughtfully to challenging situations.
• Cross-curricular opportunities for developing emotional intelligence through different subjects and real-world experiences.
• Guidance for adapting activities and support to different emotional and learning needs.
• Ideas for observing progress, encouraging reflection and extending learning beyond the classroom.

The emphasis is on helping young people recognise that emotions are natural experiences, but do not define who they are. By learning to pause, understand their feelings and choose how to respond, learners develop greater emotional resilience, sound judgement and the ability to navigate relationships with empathy and respect.

More than a poster companion, this guide helps teachers turn everyday emotional experiences into meaningful opportunities for self-understanding, thoughtful communication and personal growth.
