You will learn about a range of mental health difficulties that children and adolescents can experience and we will explore some of the developmental factors that influence children's mental health.

The course is structured around 5 weeks. Each week focuses on a specific set of topics that guide you from a basic introduction to children's development to a critical and reflective consideration of developmental psychopathology and the implications this has for working with children in clinical practice.

    Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling introduces educators to digital storytelling and explores ways to use digital stories to enhance students’ learning experience. The course is designed to be comprehensive yet fundamental. By comprehensive we mean that the course provides a solid foundation to all of the components of a digital story and illustrates these components with tutorials, example stories and links to additional readings. The course also provides a hands-on opportunity for learners to create their own digital stories. The course is fundamental because it covers the basic process of creating a digital story starting with just a simple script and as little as one still image. This course is intended for K-12 teachers in all disciplines, although it is open to anyone with an interest in digital storytelling.

    Your score is well above average and indicates a high level of emotional awareness and competence. You are great at recognizing basic facial emotions. You are aware of what people are feeling when they talk to you. You can detect and distinguish between many different types of emotional states, and change your response based on what the other person is feeling.

    Your score is well above average and indicates a high level of emotional awareness and competence. You are great at recognizing basic facial emotions. You are aware of what people are feeling when they talk to you. You can detect and distinguish between many different types of emotional states, and change your response based on what the other person is feeling.

    When troubled or upset, you know exactly what is causing you to feel that way, and what you need to fix it. You rarely sit in a corner and sulk. In a group setting, you are very aware of what others feel about everyone else in the group. In emotionally-charged situations, you can stay calm or relaxed and help everyone else deal with their emotions. You are usually the cool, level-headed and stable person in the conflict.

    You do not apologize for how you feel, and believe there are justified reasons for feeling the way you do. You act on your feelings, intuition and gut, in part because you are better than others at understanding emotion.

    At the workplace, you can make friends quickly and get others to like you. In new environments it does not take long for you to become comfortable. Socializing is second-nature to you. When in meetings, you are often able to build good rapport and emotional connections with clients or colleagues that lead to more positive outcomes.

    Take time and help your friends and colleagues improve their EQ. Share what you know. If everyone were as emotionally aware as you, they would be able to interact with you better. Great job!

    Potential development points for INFPs
    INFPs may struggle to speak up in meetings, leading others to believe they don’t care or have nothing to contribute. They risk failing to convince others of the merit of their ideas.

    Typical characteristics of an INFP
    INFPs typically relate to many of the characteristics shown in this MBTI type head illustration. If you're an INFP, why not download a copy of this INFP pictogram and share your type characteristics with colleagues?

    INFP jobs
    INFP people enjoy helping others develop and learn, and express their creativity through writing or visual arts. They like doing work that has meaning, and enjoy working with people who share their values. INFPs are likely to be attracted to professions in counselling and human development, as well as within the arts and writing.
