Relevant and WORTHWHILE!

After finishing this course I want to comment that there are few PD undertakings that I feel have such an immediate and IMPORTANT impact in Education. We are people, we work with people, and we are helping young people. How are we to do this well...especially in a global pandemic? I have been a life long student of education and psychology mostly centered in the arts. We have been engaging in these discussions and topics as arts educators for a long time but without the clarity and direction that this course brings the topic. Finally I feel like there is common language to discuss emoting AND its relevance to the field of education is much more clear and practical - Words that are not commonly connected with a more "subjective" field! Thank you to everyone out there studying social emotional best practices and innovating in this field. Thank you to the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence for leading in bringing this subject from abstract to concrete. I hope that we will make a better world where this is at the center of teaching and learning regardless of discipline, delivery, age, or content.

This was an excellent, easy to follow course that talked about the most basic of things but really gave me suggestions and tools for each step of the process. I love how it focused on us and our emotions as staff members first, and then turned to the kids, which is just what we need to do when someone is triggered-check our own emotions first, and then attend to the issue so you can role model healthy regulation.

Good for everyone, not just teachers.

Course material is scientific, modern, and relevant to almost every situation in one's personal & professional life.

I highly recommend taking this course if you've never studied Emotions & Behaviour, you will 100% learn something new and useful.

I wish I had had such a caring School System during my career here in Italy. It's been a pleasure to listen to your videos, read your interesting materials and reflecting on my way of dealing with emotions in such a difficult historical time. Grazie!

Excellent course on learning how to handle one's own emotions as well as social situations with peers or students. I absolutely appreciate the RULER approach and want to see it trained in schools and organizations.

This is a good course and has much to teach on the topic of emotional intelligence. My reasons for taking off one start is that it does not elaborate on RULER - the research-backed approach that Marc has developed to operationalise emotional and social Intelligence. I badly wanted to learn about RULER and for this I need to be an educator and enrol at the Yale Center along with 2 others.

I am a therapist with an individual practice. It looks like there is no way I can learn directly online about RULER. That is very disappointing for me. I really wish they create a separate online course on RULER for individuals like me who are not part of a school

In the tumultuous climate of today's world, finding stability, especially within oneself, has never been more challenging. The course "Managing Emotions in Times of Uncertainty & Stress" served as a beacon of understanding in this often overlooked aspect of personal health, providing practical, thoughtful, and immediately applicable techniques. From the outset, the course did not shy away from addressing the complexities of emotional turmoil. The instructors presented content that was both empathetic and empowering, ensuring a deeply human approach to scientific information. Their expertise was evident, grounding theories with real-world scenarios that resonated on a personal level, making learning relatable and engaging. What impressed me most were the comprehensive strategies provided, addressing a variety of situations from personal anxieties to professional stress. Modules exploring self-compassion, mindfulness, and emotional agility were standout favorites, introducing innovative ideas that I could integrate seamlessly into my daily routine. The section on establishing a "Circle of Control" was a revelation, effectively changing my perspective on handling unforeseen challenges. Moreover, the course structure deserves praise. The balance between video lectures, interactive assignments, and supplementary reading materials fostered an immersive learning environment. The opportunity to interact with fellow participants broadened my understanding of the universal nature of our struggles, particularly during these trying times. However, one aspect that could enhance this experience is the addition of live Q&A sessions or webinars. Such interactions would provide real-time support during the learning journey, building a stronger sense of community among participants. In conclusion, "Managing Emotions in Times of Uncertainty & Stress" is more than just a course; it's a lifeline for those feeling adrift in the current sea of global uncertainty. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for anchorage, especially when navigating the rough waters of emotional turmoil. The insights offered are not mere quick fixes but profound changes in mindset, equipping participants with the emotional resilience to weather the storms ahead.

Easily the best course I have come across, wonderfully presented by Marc Brackett and Yale. The course is incredibly insightful, providing useful evidence-based strategies that is applicable both in one's personal life and in the professional setting. Course presentation and delivery is well-executed, with appropriate lengths of the videos - so that learner's focus and attention aren't lost. Shout out to Marc Brackett, who does a great job in presenting the content.

The content is engaging and informative, profound, life-changing and yet - easy to understand, clear and succinct. Valuable resources and strategies are provided throughout, finishing off with weekly reflections that further consolidates the knowledge learnt and provides a great starting point to apply the skills/strategies taught.

I highly recommend this course. In completing this, I left with a better understanding of managing emotions and new strategies/skills to help manage my emotions and of those of my students. Though the topic area may seem well-trodden, anyone who completes the course will have their expectations exceeded and will be beyond satisifed. I guarntee that everyone will have learnt something new, or gain a new/different perspective. It is a highly practical and relevant course, purposefully designed and aimed to equip learners with skills to manage emotions that anyone can benefit from.

Great work from Marc and the Yale team, thoroughly enjoyed the course.
