Get Your Students Hired
It is good to realize that a focus on our own Emotional Intelligence, as well as other intelligences is important. It has reminded me why I got into education in the first place: To help others discover what they are passionate about and give them the tools to pursue that passion wherever it may take them in life. Giving students (or even other teachers) the tools to really learn and become excited about new things is one of the best feelings in the world.
Reply to Ann Nelson's post:I am totally in agreement with you here Ann and just to add my thoughts to your nice post, yes intelligent teachers can motivate their students but to a certain point, students themselves must have a certain amount of willingness to be motivated and to follow teachers instructions, teachers cannot motivate anyone who doesn't want to be motivated, there is a certain level of self movement that has to be taken place with a minimum level of action from the part of students, teachers can only do so much. Learning is not put into a capsule that teacher gives to his/her students to swallow and learn everything. Thank you. Anwar
When teacher are emotionally intelligent they can certainly lead their students to success as they themselves learn how to achieve success through non-lenear process in their academic (learning), persoanl and professional life and they can shar their own real life experience with their students so that they (students) can be highly motivated.
If the instructor is emotionally intelligent, they are able to intepret studnet reactions, perceptions and interests more quickly and therefore able to provide support, additional resources or learning options in order to complete assignments or projects. Thus, EI instructors can create more efficient and effective learning experiences for their students
