EMOTIONALLY-INCLUSIVE PRACTICES
“Emotions are the gateway to healthy relationships.” —Dr. Brian Dinkins
EMOTIONALLY-INCLUSIVE PRACTICES (EIP) is a framework used to integrate emotion into every part of the educational experience.
Emotions lay the foundation for behavior that ground us in how we see the world and respond in our everyday interactions. Developing the emotional intelligence of adults and children across our implicit bias, culture consciousness, and understanding student and our own trauma give us the awareness and skills to create restorative communities that prioritize all relationships.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
In schools across our country we are seeing a rise in the number of negative and confrontational interactions between students and teachers in the classroom and other school settings.
These student-teacher interactions and relationships have a high impact on the behavioral and academic outcomes of students in the classroom (Hamre & Pianta, 2001).
Research-based curricula that provide students with opportunities to grow socially and emotionally are on the rise but often neglect to build the same skills for all stakeholders, primarily the teacher and leader.
Our nation is also becoming more diverse and the unfortunate hardships many families experience leave children with unresolved trauma, requiring that educators have the training and skills to meet scholars and their own needs.
Developing the emotional intelligence of students and teachers within a restorative community creates safety, belonging, and has strong student-teacher relationships. It also provides all community members the opportunity to talk through challenges, which is more vital now than ever before.
