CEA is partnering with Dr. Marc Brackett, author, professor, and director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, to offer CEA members two free book talks on his latest book, Permission to Feel.
Dr. Brackett will discuss the critical role social emotional learning plays in improving children’s academic outcomes, enhancing their health and well-being, and promoting long-term benefits such as success in college and career.
A highly engaging speaker, Dr. Brackett will share emotional regulation strategies that can be used in the classroom, as well as personal anecdotes to illustrate key points. CEA and Yale are also partnering on a study of teacher stress, the findings of which will be previewed for attendees. Dr. Brackett will entertain questions from the audience during his presentation, as well as mingle with participants and sign copies of Permission to Feel immediately following his talk.
