Have you ever thought about how the emotions your students bring to school affect your classroom? Even when students aren’t acting out, anger, anxiety and sadness, as well as many other emotions, play a big role in what your students learn and how effective you are as a teacher.

Think about it:

• A child angry about being teased on the school bus is not going to come into your classroom ready to learn.
• A child afraid of being bullied at recess is probably not paying attention to a math lesson at 11:30 am.
• A child, upset and losing sleep over his parent’s divorce, is not very motivated to make a bar graph on his classmates’ favorite foods.

Unmet social and emotional needs affect your teaching and the ability of your students to succeed.
