General Mercer’s Student Support Plan
The students at General Mercer learn the importance of Emotional Intelligence
Self- Awareness: the ability to identify one’s own emotions
Self-Management: the ability to modulate one’s emotions
Social Awareness: the ability to understand others’ emotions
Relationship Management: the ability to co-regulate and manage interpersonal conflicts.
