Unusual book

Synopsis

Being emotionally resourceful provides a sound platform for developing other skills across the curriculum. "Self-Intelligence", a companion volume to "Imagine That", is designed to develop emotional resourcefulness in yourself and the children you teach. The two books can be used independently, but when you read them in combination you'll find many useful ways of cross-fertilising techniques to equip children with an emotional toolkit, and the skills to pick the right tool for the job. This book covers: how a process of 'meaning making' converts sensory data into the 'map of reality' that shapes our brains, beliefs and language - and how that map can be redrawn; step-by-step instructions for over 100 practical and immediately useable games, simulations, exercises and techniques to help remove blocks to learning and develop insight, confidence, independence and self-esteem; and exciting new ideas for creative exploration in any subject area, including story-making. Many of the explanations are illustrated and accompanied by photocopiable worksheets.

The book's four sections overlap and complement one another: developing sensory acuity - being emotionally capable involves being sensitive to how we and other people behave and feel. This section develops the observation skills that are essential for building awareness and understanding of our environment, others, and ourselves.
