According to Heller, over the past two decades, researchers have gathered a wealth of evidence showing the critical roles that emotional intelligence plays in education, work, and life. But what does it look like to translate that research into practice? In this interview, Yale University Marc Brackett takes stock of recent efforts to help K-12 educators address the emotional side of teaching and learning.
