SEEVAL - International Trainers' Training on SEL, Session 5
On June 17 we participated in the fifth online session of the SEEVAL International Trainers´ Training which aimed at preparing educators to implement social and emotional education in school.
In the session on Developing Educators´ Emotional Competence, led by Dr. Alexandra Marques-Pinto from the University of Portugal, we learned more about:
Whole-school approach to Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in the secondary school:
• Teachers (and other educators) as facilitators of students SEL promotion: Impacts on teachers occupational health.
• Teachers’ stress and burnout: Definition, framework, interventions.
Teachers’ Emotional Competence promotion:
• Self-Awareness – Recognizing one’s emotions.
• Self-Management – Distress (and eustress) management
We also did some exercises where we estimated our level of stress, reflected on emotional awareness, and discussed possible coping strategies to regulate distress.
