We’ve all had moments when we wished we’d handled our emotions differently—whether in the classroom, a staff meeting, or at home. And we’ve all seen students overwhelmed by big emotions, unsure how to cope. But what if K-12 leaders and educators had the skills to respond more wisely—and to teach those skills to our students? Join Peter DeWitt in conversation with Yale psychologist and best-selling author Marc Brackett and a classroom teacher as they unpack the science and practice of emotion regulation. Together, they’ll explore how managing emotions effectively can reduce stress, improve relationships, and boost both teaching and learning. Whether you work with young children or lead a high school, you’ll walk away with actionable, research-based strategies to support your own well-being and help students thrive.

Speaker: Marc Brackett, Ph.D., Founding Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and Professor, Child Study Center, Yale University
