Emotions are (…)

Here is another example of an engaging practice that, from a professional experience, fosters students’ SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT. By school engagement we mean students’ observable participation in school activities, sense of belonging to classmates and teachers, and valuing success in school-related goals.

It is implemented by: Teachers

It is directed at students aged:  12-14

Target group: Single student-centered, group-centered, class-centered

Main subjects involved: Cross-curricular

ICT involvement:  no

Description of the practice: Emotions are taken into account and especially difficult emotions are worked through together. The joys of the students are also shared together. Talking about feelings helps to build a more personal relationship with students. It depends on the case, but usually going over things frees the student to focus on the essentials.

Accessible to any student: yes

Meaningful participation for every student: no

Why?: Talking about your feelings is not easy for everyone.

Support to the practice: no
