The concept of self esteem and social/emotional IQ are both necessary for a child to reach optimum perforamance.What I, as a teacher certified in EI, LD, Early Childhood and Elementary Education, I have long attested to the fact that without the above characteristics begin developed, learning is maximumally oppressed. The student spends way too much energy worrying, covering up, compensating and behaving in inappropriate ways to ever be able to concentrate on learning at full potential. Once techers, parents and students come to realize the success of SEL, and stress activities for increasing Emotional IQ, they will be quickly rewarded with the the dramatic increase of students ability to learn in a much faster, retentive manner, allowing them MORE time in the long run to teach and prepare students for state and national requirements. In fact, many will be actually absorbed as they go through the project based learning lessons, and less time will be needed trying to fill in the blanks in a rote memory, last minute campaign to prepare.
