Abstract
Education is essentially a relational activity, where the interaction between teacher and learner creates a learning space in which knowledge is constructed and coconstructed. It is clear however that the learning space is not just cognitive. It is coloured and nuanced by emotion and interpersonal relationships. Indeed teachers and schools have long acknowledged the influence of school on social and emotional development, a fact that has been acknowledged in more recent times through the formalisation of social and emotional learning in school curricula (Durlak et al., 2011).
