IP&T 301 Week 4 Modules 4 and 22

1. The four ways in which I would create emotional intelligence in my classroom I would have a block set aside in which for about 15 minutes a week I could talk about emotions. As a class we would talk about different aspects of emotions and discuss what is the appropriate way to react in certain situations.
I would also make a mental note to treat my students and react to my students in an appropriate way in which I would want them to mimic my behavior. This allows each student to have a role model in their life in which they can see healthy ways to handle behaviors.
I would have an area on one of my walls showing different emotions and some ideas of what be causing a student to feel this way. Next to it I would also have solutions to helping and coping with these emotions.
The last thing I would do is make sure that children know exactly which emotions are appropriate for my classroom. This allows them to show restraint as they know certain behaviors or emotions are not welcome in the classroom.

2. I would have to say either linguistic or intrapersonal because I feel that if we can teach students to be in control of themselves and than be able to effectively communicate their ideas or feelings we are going to have an environment that allows learning to thrive.

3. I personal don't really believe in IQ testing. I think that through simple classroom testing and observations of the student you are able to determine what type of student they are going to be. I definitely don't think that you should use an IQ test to categorize students.
