We introduced the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) in an earlier newsletter and as promised we will cover the topics over the next few weeks and also provide an example of an activity for a particular year level so you can see how the topics aim to build on knowledge over time as students mature and develop their social and emotional learning. There are 8 topics in the learning materials.

Topic 1: Emotional Literacy 

Emotional literacy can be defined as the ability to understand  ourselves and other people. It includes the ability to  understand, express and manage our own emotions,  build empathy, and to respond appropriately to the emotions  of others. Building a large vocabulary for emotions helps to  increase emotional literacy and build self-awareness and  empathy for others. 

Examples of an activity are linked in this article.
