CHENNAI, India - July 22, 2019 -In 2016, the World Economic Forum included emotional intelligence (alongside skills like creativity and critical thinking) among the top skills required for success in tomorrow's global workforce. Emotions matter for all of us and especially for children. With their brains growing at a rapid rate, children are constantly observing, responding, adapting and developing ideas based on their emotional experiences. Just as we teach students how to read, they should also be taught to reflect on their emotional state of mind.
Shouldering this responsibility, Arise 'n' Shine has announced a new collaboration with Grace Park Convent Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Thiruninravur. "We want to steer away from the traditional school pattern and introduce better ways to improve the social, emotional and communication skills of the students", says Mrs. Geetha Omesh, Principal of Grace Park Convent.
Arise 'n' Shine, best known for transforming the lives of over 50,000 students through their School of English program is focusing on cultivating emotional intelligence in the students at Grace Park Convent. "Regardless of all the subjects that are crammed into the school curriculum, we will together create classrooms that follow the tenets of emotional intelligence. Effective teaching strategies will be framed in order for students to improve their English", shares Muthuselvi, Director and Franchisee of Arise 'n' Shine Avadi who spearheads this program at Grace Park Convent."
While each school follows its own unique teaching system, there is a vast discrepancy in how well it is able to use it to enlighten their students. "We plan to implement emotional smarts through School of English alongside academics. This could be a game-changer for the whole community," says Raj Ganesh, CEO of Arise 'n' Shine.
The School of English and emotional intelligence program is embraced at several schools in the city as an agent of change, including Punjab Association Schools, CSI Ewart Global School, FES Matriculation School, Sri Bala Vidyalaya CBSE School, Ramachandra Matriculation School, to name a few.
