Meet the Social-Emotional Behavior (SEB) Coach

Hi Everyone!

My name is Alicia Condron and I am the Social-Emotional Behavior Coach at King. My job is to work with students by supporting emotions and behavior during academic times, teaching social-emotional lessons and leading whole school community meetings and social-emotional initiatives.

Emotional Intelligence

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence is our ability to recognize our own emotions and their impact on others. It also includes our ability to recognize the emotions of others. motivate ourselves and manage our emotions positively in ourselves and in our relationships.

Why is it Important to Students?

Students who learn these skills are more likely to be self-confident and highly motivated. They are thoughtful decision makers, empathetic and build strong, positive relationships. Students who have high emotional intelligence typically achieve academic success and are able to leverage their skills into success in relationships and occupations.

How is King Supporting Emotional Intelligence?

Research has shown that using social-emotional curriculums to directly teach the 5 components of Emotional Intelligence is highly beneficial to students. Students participate in the Second Step, Zones of Regulation and Amazeworks curriculum. Daily morning meetings, monthly community meetings, whole school incentive plan, task based learning, whole group, small group and partner work promote the concepts of emotional intelligence as well.
