The ability to navigate through the challenges that we are presented with on a daily basis was best described by Aristotle when he said:

“Anyone can become angry – this is easy.  

But to be angry with the right person, 

to the right degree, 

at the right time, 

for the right purpose, and 

in the right way that is not easy.”

This online forum will allow participants the opportunity to develop skills that will enable them to identify, use, understand and manage their emotions and the emotions of others.  

By developing these competencies participants will:

•  reach new heights in being responsible decision makers
•  utilize multiple points of view 
•  be creative problem solvers who make sound, ethical and effective decisions
•  explore research-based skills and competencies that have a positive impact on their professional and personal lives

The skills, competencies, and strategies utilized throughout the discussions are research-based and are aligned with the MSCEIT 

(Mayer, Salovey, Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test – Yale University).  

This forum is appropriate for teachers, support personnel (guidance, social workers, and/or psychologists), administrators, and/or parents.
