Good Practice Database >> CoPEing with Emotional Intelligence

What was the focus for improvement?
• A transition project agreed by the cluster
• Built on a common interest in EI
• Looking for continuity and sustainability
• Recognised a need within the cluster

What did we do?
• Research into work in other LEAs directed us towards the Student Assistance Programme (SAP)
• Dovetail into the work we have begun regarding emotional intelligence and enhance this work by providing a safe environment for pupils to express their experiences and feelings. Five key competences of emotional intelligence are addressed within group work.
• Pupil Attitude to Self and School (PASS) introduced
• Introduce CoPE with a focus on
Roles and myself
Active citizen
Wider community
Health and lifestyle

What were the outcomes?
• Raising pupils' self-esteem
• Empowering pupils in making life skills decisions
• Empowering pupils with problem solving strategies
• Improving communication skills

What evidence have we collected to demonstrate improvements?
• Pupil Surveys PASS
• Pupils' work KS3 CoPE
What have we learnt about teaching practice and pupils learning?
Pupils' responses
Good that people would listen – 90%
Pleased to be able to share things on their mind – 70%
Able to talk freely 80%
Helped to change oneself – 70%
Enjoyment - 100%

What we aim to do next
• Create time within the curriculum for SAP
• Identify a programme that addresses the goals of SAP and the key competences in EI across the key stages
• Establish audit / evaluative tools
• Explore cross curricular links
• Audit of PSE provision
• Make Key Skills explicit
• Provide the pathway to Welsh Baccalaureate in KS4 and KS5
