Social Emotional Learning

A 2027 Topic Option | Teacher Mastery Programme

Equipping educators to grow emotionally intelligent classrooms where feelings inform learning and wellbeing thrives.

This topic is part of our Teacher Mastery Programme, a tailored, year-long initiative dedicated to continuous teacher growth and professional development.

In Brief

There are no good feelings or bad feelings. Emotions are just data. This data dramatically aﬀects the way humans respond.

When teachers are trained in Emotional Intelligence (Ei) and embed the knowledge in every subject, students soon learn the power of recognising emotions, giving them a name, mastering the art of regulating the eﬀect it has on their lives and using emotions to improve their own and others’ wellbeing.

We've been partnering with Keller Education for the past three years (now entering our fourth), and the impact on Mondeor Eco School has been remarkable. We've seen significant behavioural shifts in our learners and a noticeable improvement in our overall school culture. The Keller team is consistently friendly, supportive, and easy to work with. Every course we've participated in has brought meaningful value—offering practical, relevant strategies that have positively influenced both our teaching and leadership practices. Their work is grounded, thoughtful, and always focused on real-world application. Highly recommended for any school looking to grow, strengthen culture, and lead with purpose.
