Maurice Elias began his emotional intelligence work
as a graduate student in the 70's. Working with disturbed
underprivileged children at The Children's Village, he found
that social-emotional learning was the key to reach kids.
His work in communities has continued, and Dr. Elias is
now a Professor in Psychology at Rutgers University and
Vice-Chair of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and
Emotional Learning. He is the author or co-author of numerous
books, including Promoting Social and Emotional Learning:
Guidelines for Educators (ASCD, 1997). His recent books
are Emotionally Intelligent Parenting: How to Raise a
Self-Disciplined, Responsible, and Socially Skilled Child,
with a foreword written by Daniel Goleman, published by
Harmony/Random House in 2000, (see www.EQParenting.com
for information), and Raising Emotionally Intelligent
Teenagers: Guiding the Way for Compassionate, Committed,
Courageous Adults (Random House/Three Rivers Press,
2002). Just released is Engaging the Resistant Child
Through Computers: A Manual for Social-Emotional Learning
(available through www.nprinc.com)
