Development
The Feelings Company’s Professional Development, FEED (Fueling Educators Emotional Development), is the foundation of our successful implementation and the first step in implementing The Feeling Friends in the classroom.
FEED is a comprehensive professional development program grounded in emotional intelligence focusing on Adult Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). FEED gives adults the tools to take a deep dive into their emotional journey to uncover the patterns in their lives that prevent them from being emotionally well.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Adult Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of cultivating adults’ own social and emotional competencies to build their expertise and skills to become emotionally well and lead social and emotional initiatives.
WHAT IS ADULT SEL?
The Collaborative Academic Social, Emotional Learning (CASEL) and The Feelings Company research show that schools are more effective at teaching and reinforcing SEL for students when they also cultivate SEL competencies in adults.
Our educators are hungry for emotional intelligence knowledge. We FEED our educators.
