Description
Emotional Maps is a practical course designed to help educators understand, recognise and make sense of emotions and experiences, while developing strategies that can be applied directly in the classroom.
Using the idea of an “emotional map”, participants will explore how our emotions and responses are influenced by biology, biography, behaviour and backstory. The course provides practical tools for helping students recognise what they feel, understand where emotions come from and express them in healthy and constructive ways.
Participants will explore:
- Biology – recognising how emotions show up in the body and learning to identify physical signals.
- Biography – exploring how family, relationships and communities shape our emotional connections.
- Behaviour – examining how emotions influence our actions and responses.
- Backstory – understanding the context, experiences and thoughts behind what we feel.
Through reflection, discussion and practical classroom activities, educators will learn how to create a more emotionally aware, empathetic and supportive learning environment where students can better understand themselves and others.
