Emotional Intelligence

We, at McAllen ISD, follow the framework for student learning. The framework has several gears outlining the learning vision for our students. Emotional Intelligence is one of our gears, which serves as a guide to frame a lesson, a counseling session and the culture of a campus.

We believe that it is everyone's responsibility to teach, exemplify, and develop these skills with our students.

The five domains of our Emotional Intelligence Gear are:

Self-Awareness - To have a deep knowledge of our own emotions and how it impacts others.

Self-Regulation - The ability to manage our own emotions.

Motivation - The desire and drive behind doing something.

Empathy - The ability to be sensitive to the emotions and feelings of another person.

Social Skills - The ability to positively communicate, interact, and collaborate with others.
