Although your school system cannot be compared to ours in the Balkans, I think, as an educator, the idea is fantastic for the following reasons:
Emotional intelligence has always been neglected in school systems and has never been attached to this life segment in the development of young people. This segment in personality development is extremely important, because young people form in personality during the period of education.
All students across this country are on the frontline battling distraction, spectacle, and entertainment. They are bombarded with criticism, fear, and unrestrained emotions. Student who learn seL skills are fighting back with tools and strategies from the virtue of resilience. They are learning they can control what they think. And they are understanding they have the power to decide how they feel. And when they do get hit with life's inevitable disappointments, failures, and pains, they now have a utility belt of tools, and a force field of strategies which protect them and insulate them from taking on the brunt force of life full force. They won't be overwhelmed. They will get through these obstacles knowing how to turn failure to wisdom, weakness to strength, and fear to courage. And they will learn to flourish.
Our curriculum is improving lives, benefitting students, and bringing value to our society through teaching the "how to" of resilience
To some extent then, according to employers, emotional intelligence is expected to be more important for the employability of the young person rather than the skills related to the sector.
"RISE has displayed its capacity and will to develop an educated citizenry and ensure that RISE students will realize their deepest hopes and aspirations. RISE will enrich the quality of life for their students as well as prepare more youth to do what they love and earn what they need."
