Building Emotionally Intelligent Classrooms through Emotion Coaching Tuning in to Students™ (TIS) is a professional learning program that helps educators create emotionally intelligent classrooms.
Developed from the evidence-based Tuning in to Kids® and Tuning in to Teens® programs at the University of Melbourne, TIS teaches practical Emotion Coaching skills so teachers can recognise, understand, and respond constructively to students’ emotions.
By turning emotional moments into opportunities for connection and growth, teachers foster classroom environments that support wellbeing, self-regulation, and learning.

Students with strong emotional intelligence are more resilient, connected, and capable of managing challenges.
Research shows emotionally intelligent students experience:
- Greater success in friendships and teamwork
- Improved emotion regulation and coping skills
- Fewer mental health difficulties
- Better academic and long-term life outcomes
What Educators Learn
Through interactive, evidence-based workshops, teachers develop skills to:
- Increase self-awareness and emotion regulation
- Recognise and respond effectively to students’ emotions
- Use Emotion Coaching conversations to guide learning and connection
- Build emotionally safe, respectful, and engaged classrooms
- See emotions as part of learning—not disruptions to it
