Emotional Intelligence has been defined as a series of competencies relating to how we understand, express, utilize and manage emotions. Research has identified emotional competencies as important contributors to scholastic success and indeed mental health in children and adolescents. In this presentation I outline our work on Emotional Intelligence in schools. This will include a brief explanation of the construct of emotional intelligence applied to schools, a synopsis of our published research on emotional intelligence and scholastic outcomes, and an outline of our intervention programs (Aristotle Emotional Intelligence Programs see www.aristotle-EI.com) design to improve emotional intelligence in children, adolescents, and teachers. I will describe how a whole-school approach is needed to measure, develop and track emotional intelligence over an extended duration and how improving emotional intelligence leads to not only a reduction in problematic processes such as anxiety and depression but an improvement in scholastic outcomes. Available resources for schools with be outlined throughout the presentation. Finally, I will discuss the opportunity to participate in a large-scale, Australia-wide emotional intelligence intervention coordinated by Swinburne University to improve well-being and scholastic outcomes.
