Developing Emotionally Literate Staff

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 work-force. In this practical book, Julie Casey and Elizabeth Morris provide everything needed to begin to create an emotionally literate ethos within a school, along with tools to develop emotionally literate staff and practices over the course of a year. This book is packed with practical tools to help: assess and measure the current 'emotional temperature' of the setting, and evaluate progress; 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.
