Indicator Description
The teacher frequently applies research-based strategies to promote students’ emotional well-being and displays sensitivity to students’ emotions. An upbeat mood is displayed by the teacher almost all of the time, and by students almost all of the time or almost all of the students. The strategies used by the teacher may include modeling good regulation of emotion, coaching effective coping strategies, talking about emotions as they naturally occur, validating negative emotions (without accepting misbehavior), helping students reinterpret negative situations in a more positive light, and using appropriate humor.
In the classroom, this might look like:
-
Teacher and students appear emotionally positive almost all of the time
-
Teacher uses several research-based strategies and seizes every opportunity to promote emotional competence in students
