Pentabilities as
a solution
Pentabilities clarifies the meaning of the socioemotional skills with identifiable and useful behaviors
The behaviors are used to prioritize and share the key elements that enhance learning and classroom management
An innovative and visually appealing tool allows for comprehensive tracking and objective, quick, and intuitive evaluation of socio-emotional skills
Students become aware of what they do, why they do it, and the impact it has on themselves and the learning environment
Why implement pentabilities?
We often assume that students know which behaviors they need to display to achieve their goals, but in reality, they often struggle with persevering through obstacles, collaborating with others, managing frustration, or reflecting on their actions, among other challenges.
In the classrooms, this gap manifests as disengagement, misunderstandings among peers, lack of interest in the subject matter, or disruptions. For teachers, this presents an additional challenge, as accumulated tensions impact both learning and student relationships, contributing to their own frustration and demotivation.
Pentabilities offers a practical and effective solution by focusing on five key skills: responsibility, cooperation, autonomy and initiative, emotional management, and thinking skills. Paula, a student at IES Thos i Codina, sums it up like this: “Outside of school, Pentabilities has helped me build more equal relationships with both my family and friends. In the classroom, there is a more respectful atmosphere, my classmates behave better, and that makes classes easier.”
As you can see, students learn to communicate better, listen to each other, recognize their strengths, work together, take responsibility, and manage conflicts more effectively. Pentabilities fosters more positive classroom dynamics, reduces tensions, and encourages mutual motivation between students and teachers. The improvement is reflected not only in behavior but also in learning and school life.
If you want to transform the dynamics in your school and provide teachers with tools to support students' socio-emotional skills development, we would be delighted to collaborate to make it happen.
