This educational presentation was conducted for parents in the Bay Area public school district by Educational Psychologist, Dr. Helen Y. Sung, to informs parents about the direction of education with Common Core and its relationship to Emotional Intelligence.

 

Instead of memorization and a result based focus, students are now expected to explain their thinking, creating multiple approaches and perspectives to problem solving, and collaborate with peers. 

 

Those with higher emotional intelligence have greater chance of success with Common Core. This video explains why. 

 

Socialization and cultural norms have a deeper influence than training of isolated skills. These beliefs and values influence interaction patterns. This video explains the past, present and future direction of human influences.
