Teachers' Writing Corner

Once students go through the first few stages, students should be trained
to demonstrate their abilities to maintain effective emotional management.
They should be given chances to learn to be aware of others’ needs and
feelings. Some service learning projects, leadership development courses or
volunteering should be organized so that students can be trained to manage
their emotions and care about others’ feelings. Moreover, some study strategies
can be taught so as to lessen students’ pressure from their studies. In this way,
training students to maintain effective emotional management can help adjust
the way students behave, make decisions and interact with others.

When teachers consider students’ feelings in the stages mentioned above,
they will know more about how to encourage students to control their feelings
positively at an advanced level. All the teachers in W F Joseph Lee Primary
School are expected to guide their students to have positive emotion responses
and enhance their learning ability. Our expectation is in line with our theme this
year – hope. We hope our students will manage their emotions well and stay
hopeful no matter which stages of self-regulation they are going.
