The Power of Emotionally Intelligent Educators Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

Listen as we speak with Megan Marcus and Kelley Munger from FuelEd about:

how educators can heal student trauma through relationships, and the need for educators to first do their own healing
how equipping educators with relationship-skills can make school counselors jobs easier and better
how the best student SEL is actually educator SEL

FuelEd is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to grow emotionally intelligent educators who build relationship-driven schools. The organization envisions a world where educator training and support is reimagined to prioritize educators' emotional intelligence, emotional health, and interpersonal skills. FuelEd was founded based on Megan Marcus' experience serving as a lead researcher for the book, The Social Neuroscience of Education by Dr. Louis Cozolino which highlights the science behind how relationships drive learning, social and emotional development, and can even heal trauma. Over the course of the last decade, we have synthesized research from developmental psychology, counseling psychology, and social neuroscience research into practical, interactive, and experiential training and counseling for thousands of educators.
