Why emotional management is as vital as literacy for students
In short: Education often prioritizes academic skills like reading and writing, but educator Olympia Della Flora argues that emotional regulation is the true foundation for student success. This talk explores practical, low-cost strategies to help struggling and disruptive children thrive.
Della Flora demonstrates how small, intentional shifts in classroom management can yield significant results without requiring additional funding. She advocates for integrating activities like brain breaks, singing, and yoga poses into the daily routine to help students navigate their feelings.
The core philosophy is about maximizing existing resources through smarter thinking. By focusing on emotional well-being alongside academics, educators can create an environment where students are better equipped to engage with their lessons.
