The Emotionally Upbeat Classroom is one pillar of prosocial education that involves creating an atmosphere of positivity. Try to build an Emotionally Upbeat Classroom because negative emotions block thinking, learning, and rational thought. Positive emotions promote creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Happy people learn more and are more prosocial; and the more prosocial learners are, the more positive and upbeat the classroom climate will be (Bergin, 2018).
Build an Emotionally Upbeat Classroom by:
- Understanding the power of a smile and smiling more often!
- Fostering an attitude of gratitude.
- Using humor.
- Talking about emotions.
