Emotional Intelligence: The PBS Approach
Emotional intelligence is a pillar of the PBS experience, as we believe that children can only thrive in their academic learning if they possess the awareness and strategies to manage their emotional state. We embed teaching and learning about key social–emotional competencies throughout our daily routines and academic program with an intentional practice of our core values: kindness, love of learning, courage, and community.
