Something for everyone in this book - teachers, parents, students, those in relationships, and more. Couldn’t put it down (after sitting in the bookshelf for years!) Practical applications for using emotional intelligence in life. This one’s a keeper for future reference.

#whithitness one of my favourite teacher catch phrases. As defined by educational researcher Jacob Kounin “a teacher’s communicating to the student by their actual behaviour that they know what the students are doing, or has the proverbial eyes in the back of their heads”

Education: the good, the bad, and the 'crisitunity'. “One of the things that frustrates me about education is that everyone wants instant gratification, in this modern, 24/7, instant communication world. Education doesn’t work that way,” Hipkins says. https://t.co/5IXHjbSjcW
