Big fan of programs in Elementary schools to help children develop their emotional intelligence. Love this article about a couple of programs being used in schools where poverty is high. Get inspired.

"Unlike many of its peers, Mission Hill has never held an anti-bullying rally or hosted a motivational speaker on the subject. There are no classroom minutes allotted to teaching emotional literacy, self-regulation, perspective-taking, or cooperation—the hallmarks of many traditional SEL programs. And yet the kids in Kathy’s classroom demonstrate through daily deed a high capacity for emotional intelligence and hone an array of the kinds of skills not measured on standardized tests: learning to listen and work collaboratively, to take on others’ perspectives, to share across lines of difference, to resolve conflicts, and to empathize."

Different programs, finding success using methods that create an environment for empathy. We love it!

According to a recent Harvard study, cultivating empathy among students has been linked to a variety of desirable outcomes, including positive peer relationships, better communication skills, and fewer interpersonal conflicts. Author Lennon Flowers examines how it is part of a growing education tren…

This was shared by Avant8 and I loved this quote about living, and doing good. What an amazing lady who touched so many. She will be missed!
"What is a fear of living? It's being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don't know what you're here to do, then just do some good." - Maya Angelou. http://ow.ly/xmjcg

"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." Update: Maya Angelou is dead at age 86.
