Review
"Schools cannot teach character . . . Schools have to create an environment that models and promotes character development, and then they have to allow the children to ‘catch’ character from the behavior of the adults and students around them."
(James P. Comer, Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry )"There's enormous interest in emotional intelligence and brain-friendly learning, and this book is an excellent contribution to the debate."
(The Times Educational Supplement, UK Editorial, 2003 )About the Author

Ahead of its Time,

This review is from: EQ + IQ = Best Leadership Practices for Caring and Successful Schools (Paperback)
When my co-editors and I were privileged to be able to compile the inspiring examples in this book, those who developed their models were well ahead of their time. In the ensuing years, the George Lucas Education Foundation has recognized and created videos of many of these sites in action ([...]) and there have been many empirical studies documenting the connection of EQ and IQ (see [...] for a summary). The U.S. Department of Education is now focusing on school culture and climate, realizing that caring and successful schools is not a term that can be further reduced. Successful schools, including academic success, are caring, safe, and civil schools. This book contains the work of those who have led in the science and practice of this point of view, and whose tenacity and foresight have been vindicated by emerging science, practice, and policy in education.

This review is from: EQ + IQ = Best Leadership Practices for Caring and Successful Schools (Paperback)
I appreciate that there are documented, data-driven results for these programs. I see the smiles on the kids faces in the classrooms. The best of both worlds.

This review is from: EQ + IQ = Best Leadership Practices for Caring and Successful Schools (Paperback)
Unfortunately, Elias et al continue to try to sell the same concepts with new packaging. There is little new here, and I find it a bit disconcerting that the EQ wave continues to be exploited for personal gain by academics, of all people.Shame on "Johnny come lately" academics trying to follow in Dan Goleman's success. Give us something new, or at least, stick to your science.
