OBIECTIVE VIZÂND NIVELUL EMOŢIONAL ŞI CEL SOCIAL AL ÎNVĂŢĂRII
OBJECTIVES FOR THE EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL LEVEL OF LEARNING

Summary/Abstract: It is important to prepare our students for the future, yet we do not know exactly what that future will bring. What we do know is that our brains and the way they work did not significantly change in millennia. IQ is very important but our schools focus almost exclusively on it while neglecting the EQ of the student, although emotional intelligence of the individual is a better predictor of his quality of life. Taking all of this into account, we should capitalize on the learning opportunity acting workshop activities represent in this field, if chosen and conducted appropriately for that purpose. While few of the students that take pre academic acting classes pursue a career in acting, teachers that address that stage of learning must adapt and be of better service to the grown-ups their student will eventually become. Thus, high school acting classes should focus on the child’s emotional development just as much as they focus on the development of expressive skills or even more. At that age, social emotional learning is essential for the future actor as well as for the future chemist, teacher, policeman or lawyer.
