The paradox of our time in history is that we haveTaller buildings, but shorter tempers;

Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints;We spend more but have less; We buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families;More conveniences, but less time;

We have more degrees, but less sense;More knowledge, but less judgment;

More experts, but more problems;More medicines, but less wellness.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.We've added years to life, not life to years.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;Tall men, and short character;

Steep profits, and shallow relationships.These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare;

More leisure, but less fun;

More kinds of food, but less nutrition.It is time when we can choose either to make a difference

Or to shrug off and forget.

WHAT IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional Intelligence is social Intelligence, which is a way of recognizing, understanding and choosing how we think, feel and act. It shapes our understanding and our interactions with others.

Emotions have a powerful influence on Behaviour

Emotions → Thought → Action → Behaviour

Emotional intelligence consists of four core abilities:

The Caregivers (parents and teachers)are the gardeners who nurture little children like plants. Each one of us desires that children in our charge should bloom into their fragrant best.Every teacher desires to develop theirchildren into well-rounded personalities.In raising holistic children, teachers haveto focus on not just their academic performance but also their emotional skills.

"Emotional -intelligence will pave the way for a lifetime of happiness and success"

Children develop emotional intelligence during the first 15 years of life as they mature.

We all share a stake in the development of children’s emotionaland social competence and in identifying the processes thatfacilitate or undermine it.

Relationships provide a foundation for learning.

Emotions affect how and what we learn.

The children in our class room are infinitely more significant than the subject matter we are teaching them.

HOW EMOTIONS ARE GETTING INJURED IN SCHOOLS?

•Failures and frustrations

• NEGETIVE COMMENTS

What we can as teachers do?

Focusing on the Individual Child’s Development

Before we are able to focus our abilities as a teacher on enhancing the social competence level of our entire class, we must first focus on social characteristics of the individual child.

Key areas of focus- What are they & How can we enhance them:

* SELF CONCEPT: Young children develop their self-concept very early in life. We can assist in enhancing a child’s self-concept by recognizing unique qualities that the child possesses. We must pay attention to the child’s temperament to make sure that personalities are compatible.

* SELF CONFIDENCE: Children with self-confidence have a feeling of internal worth which in turn makes it easier for them to face challenges and to work with others. When children lack this confidence, their focus tends to be on failure rather than success.

*SELF ESTEEM:Compliment children often. Encourage students to make nice comments about their peers. Show appreciation for your students. Encourage students to make choices. Show importance in a child’s opinion by using active listening while they are speaking. Explain reasons for your actions. Encourage children to try new and challenging activities.

Self Booster ActivityMake a positive comment about your neighbor.

Motivate Children

• The greatest motivation –comes from a person’s belief system

• Motivation is like a fire- unless you keep adding fuel to it, it dies. But ,if the source of motivation is belief in inner values, it becomes long lasting

• Experience shows that People will do a lot for money, more for a good leader and do most for a belief

• People do things for their own reasons, not yours

EQ is the distinguishing factor that determines if we make lemonade when life hands us lemons or spend our life stuck in bitterness.

What specific strategies might you incorporate into your classroom to help maintainpositive emotions, and repair negative emotions?

Don’t expect the worse

Fortunately there are plenty of strategies we can use to get the attention of a class.

Establish rapport with students

A teacher who is good at perceiving and using emotions may identify the voice and facial feature stimuli of their students necessary for the successful transfer of knowledge when teaching.

Oftentimes, what we say is less important than how we say it or theother nonverbal signals we send out. In order to hold the attentionof others and build connection and trust, we need to be aware of andin control of our nonverbal cues.

We also need to be able to accurately read and respond to the nonverbal cues that our students send us.

Part of improving nonverbal communication involves paying attention to: Eye contact Facial expression Tone of voice Posture and gesture Timing and pace

Look for the positive – focus on those children who are doing what you want and praise them. Don’t give the misbehaving minority the reward of your attention.

Once you’ve got the basics right, you can achieve even better behaviour from pupils in your. Here are some tips to bear in mind:

•Expect the best. The higher your expectations the better your pupils will behave in class. Aim to get all children to give their absolute best. They are more likely than you think to live up to your expectations. • Work hard to develop better relationships with your pupils. Find out what your pupils enjoy and take this on board in your planning. Talk to your class about their interests outside school and try to incorporate them into their school work wherever possible.

• Maximize pupils’ engagement in the learning process. Spend time making as many lessons as possible active and exciting as possible. If pupils are genuinely immersed in their work they are far less likely to be drawn back towards bad behaviour. • Have a sense of humour. The teacher who can make a class laugh – and laugh along with them – will have a better chance of getting the most from pupils.

Brooks (1996) has made it clear that a teacher’s empathy and emotional intelligence can help that teacher work more effectively with angry and resistant students. Understanding what a student is going through helps a teacher to recognize the burdens many students experience at home and at school that lead to misbehavior,and the ability to create strategies that can make these students less angry and resistant.

It is the teachers who control the construction of the learning environment in their classrooms.

They can make the learning environment they create for their students, either hostile, or nurturing.

Motivate students to become actively involved in their own learning.

Dr Karen Hansen gave a number of suggestions how a classroom could be set up to enhance an emotional intelligent culture. These included:

• Looking at setting up the class so there is an opportunity for communication and teamwork.

• Giving students many opportunities to discuss their emotional responses.

• Teachers being able to validate their own and their students’ emotional responses.
