Students who learn to identify and cope with their emotions are more effectively able to develop higher level competencies in areas such as: effective verbal communication of both positive and negative feelings, building and identifying nonverbal communication skills, and seeking help from an adult or a peer. Staying on-task may be more indicative of executive functioning skills, such as planning, organizing, remembering and using information, problem‐solving, and ignoring distractions. Strengthening executive functioning is done on the foundation of identifying and managing emotions and as Soar Learning Center continues to learn and develop resiliency in students, it is hoped that a greater increase in on‐task behavior will be observed.
