TIEL Institute -- Teaching for Intellectual and Emotional Learning

Reflection includes quiet inner thinking, wondering, and insight that leads to an increase in self-knowledge. Reflection involves the connection and organization of information. Quiet reflection provides a space for connecting and organizing information acquired through experience and other means.

Empathy includes caring—caring for yourself, for others, and for your work. It also includes giving help and showing kindness, respect, and courtesy to others.

Ethical Reasoning, or moral reasoning, involves making decisions with careful consideration for others. Ethical Reasoning requires the inclusion of empathy and appreciation for other beings in the decision-making process.

Mastery involves meeting expectations. Mastery in learning usually involves an answer or skill expected by someone else other than the learner. Mastery of skills and subjects learned in school is strongly connected to social-emotional well-being.

Appreciation involves sensitivity to the diversity found within humanity and nature. Appreciation includes valuing, understanding, and openness to difference.
