Emotional Intelligence.

-from recent Edutopia release:
http://www.edutopia.org/social-emotional-intelligence-learning-education

"Emotionally intelligent individuals stand out. Their ability to empathize, persevere, control impulses, communicate clearly, make thoughtful decisions, solve problems, and work with others earns them friends and success. They tend to lead happier lives, with more satisfying relationships. At work, they are more productive, and they spur productivity in others. At school, they do better on standardized tests and help create a safe, comfortable classroom atmosphere that makes it easier to learn."

Discovery Time provides an excellent environment where students can develop positive relationships.
