Endorsed by empirical research which links social-emotional learning to academic success, the approach balances emotional literacy with practical skill development. Jenny Mosley doesn't just offer a programme - she offers a philosophy: one where students are not just taught but truly seen, where emotional literacy is not a luxury but a necessity, and where schools become safe spaces for teenagers to grow into capable, compassionate adults.
This essential guide is invaluable for heads of year, form tutors, PSHE leads and classroom teachers committed to nurturing both academic achievement and emotional development. School counselors, educational psychologists and wellbeing coordinators will also find practical strategies they can immediately implement to support teenagers in developing the communication skills and emotional resilience needed to thrive in today's complex world.
