Improving Learning Through Emotional Literacy

By exploring the link between the emotions and learning, Katherine Weare demonstrates how focusing on the emotions can have a beneficial impact on learning and academic achievement, for the able as well as those with special needs.

In this book, she looks at ways in which schools can harness emotional and social learning (ESL) to improve results and the experience students have of school. The book draws on emerging evidence in the area of emotional learning, as well as new work on accelerated learning, key learning styles, working through curriculum subjects, and more traditional ESL approaches.

This book is an important read for trainee and practising teachers in mainstream and special education, and senior management team members.
