Michael Brearley

Former headmaster Michael Brearley was widely experienced in secondary education, and had a long-standing interest in engaging students more fully in their learning. His applied research at the University of East Anglia focused on teacher behaviour and how it impacted on students' learning; he also examined the role of mediation and the work of Carl Rogers. Michael's later research into emotional intelligence explored its practical application in the education and business sectors, particularly its effect upon performance as a teacher and leader.

Reviews

Professor Katherine Ware, Health Education. Volume 102 Number 2 pp. 84-86

Emotional Intelligence in the Classroom by Michael Brearley provides a clear account of some practical strategies for integrating emotional intelligence across the school curriculum. A major strength of the book is the way in which it links affective and cognitive learning, demonstrating ways in which emotional factors underline learning in general, and are central to the teaching of thinking skills and accelerated learning. It draws on the work of theorists such as Maslow, Porter and Gardner, showing how ideas can be put to work by teachers in helping them understand how people learn and plan more effective learning. This book explores techniques for self review of the 'habits, attitudes, beliefs and emotions of success', including several useful self completion inventories. It is full of useful ideas and is a treasure house for teachers and lecturers trying to teach about emotional intelligence in ways which practitioners will find relevant to their pressing concerns in the classroom.
Alistair Smith, Author and leading educational trainer

Michael Brearley has provided a succinct and readable summary of what Emotional Intelligence can offer to the learning repertoire of children. In a clear and accessible style the book draws on the theory of emotional and multiple intelligence and pins this down into a series of structured activities for classrooms. This book is a must for those who are serious about a multi-layered approach to learning.
