Educar
a niños y niñas para la vida. Prepararlos con las herramientas
básicas para entender este mundo tan complejo, para desarrollar
emociones positivas, para comprender y tolerar, para mejorar el mundo.
La inteligencia emocional es un componente fundamental de la
potencialidad humana que se ha de trabajar en clase mediante la creación
de situaciones que propicien su desempeño, el establecimiento de un
clima propicio en el aula y una atención específica al desarrollo de
esta competencia. Consciente de su importancia, el profesorado de nuestro centro al completo, está inmerso en un programa de formación en competencia emocional a través del Centro de Profesores de Sevilla, con la asesoría a cargo de Almudena Serra.

"When a child is born we do everything we can to
protect them, nurture them, love them. A
child’s heart and mind are fragile. As they
grow we want to teach them everything that we
know; we send them to school to fill their
minds with wonderful knowledge, to give them
the tools they need for life. At school they
get a taste of what things are like in the
world outside; there’s friendship, romance,
disappointment, embarrassment, discrimination
and bullying. But are the tools we give them
enough to prepare them for this world?
We have an enormous responsibility and an
amazing opportunity. If we truly want to
prepare them for the world outside, we must
also educate the heart, because to navigate the
world outside with compassion, acceptance and
tolerance, we need to teach them compassion,
acceptance and tolerance. This can begin in our
schools and it can start today; it can happen
at hockey practice, dance class, at day camps
and music lessons; and it’s already happening
around the world with astonishing results.
If we want our children to grow into socially
and emotionally capable young people we must
ask for a balanced education that puts
importance on educating both the mind and the
heart."
