Emotional intelligence for Educational Leadership

Catalog description

Improving education requires strengthening leadership characteristics, with leadership defined broadly under the assumption that all educators practice leadership. This course supports students in developing as change makers. The focus will be on three “lenses” of Emotional Intelligence (EQ): EQ for personal development, EQ for relationships, and EQ for transformational leadership – key perspectives on building an inclusive and equitable school that supports the needs of diverse learners. Through experiential learning, deep conversation, assessments, coaching, and practice, students will work together to clarify and develop EQ skills. Participants will explore their own EQ and learn methods and tools to apply EQ in their role as a leader, educator, and person.
