- How Can EQ Skills Be Incorporated in Teacher Education?
|
10
|
- Educators are required to:
- Reason about their thinking
- Try to explore their inhibitions, their suppressed thoughts, and their
fears
|
11
|
- Strive to become aware of what their ego and their unconscious refuse to
admit
- => this highly affects their teaching
|
12
|
- often faced with
- their imperfection
- their human narcissism
- their omnipotence and lack of altruism
- => they are pushed to question their ideals and everything they
think they stand for
|
13
|
- Taubman:
- Teachers should reflect on themselves in order to know how their social
identities affect their teaching
- Teachers are supposed to work on their own biases in order not to damage
their students
|
14
|
- Taubman:
- Teacher education needs to address the uncontrollable experience of
“jouissance”
|
15
|
- => understand the cases in which teachers can enjoy their own
aggression towards their students in the name of a greater good
|
16
|
- Linda Powell & Margaret Barber
- Educators in urban schools have failed to properly deal with their
anxieties.
- Some sources of anxiety in daily work:
- teaching poor children whose childhoods differ from what teachers are
used to > new minds whose family lives and individual development are
affected by
- technology
- the economy
- the media
|
17
|
- Linda Powell & Margaret Barber
- In order to deal with anxiety in schooling, we need to
- Follow strategies that help us deal with the sources of our anxiety
- Work through the unconscious
- Confront our anxiety
|
18
|
- Paula Salvio
- Teachers come with diverse historical backgrounds and it would be unfair
for them to teach, to shape students’ lives, unless
- they have found a way to come to terms with their own backgrounds
- they have worked through their past.
|
19
|
- Paula Salvio
- Anne Sexton’s pedagogy consisted in dealing with the real emotions that
lie behind feelings of guilt, sadness, rage, and horror.
- > (she managed to cultivate
a “true self”
- through a pedagogy of
reparation and
- recognizing otherness)
|
20
|
- Paula Salvio
- There is no way for us to tolerate others unless we have managed to
- make peace with ourselves
- explore our deep emotions and their sources
- understand and control them.
|
21
|
- Jonathan Silin
- In order for teachers to be able to create spaces for emotions, they
need to
- be aware of their own
- understand them
- know how to deal with them
|
22
|
- Jonathan Silin (quoting Grumet)
- The curriculum should be considered a "'mediating space'... a place
in which we try to reconnect to
- the people from whom we have been separated
- the things that we have lost, and later
- the person we once were" (p. 230).

- “Rule Your Feelings, Lest Your Feelings Rule You”
- (Publius Syrus, 1st Century BC)

|
- 1) Knowing our emotions (self-awareness)
- 2) Managing our emotions (self-management)
- 3) Motivating ourselves (self-motivation)
- 4) Recognizing emotions in others (empathy, social awareness)
- 5) Handling relationships
- (Goleman, 1995 & 1998)
|
26
|
- Just like metacognition, self-awareness involves cognition;
- cognition of the way we feel versus
- cognition of the way we think (metacognition)
|
27
|
- Self-awareness allows us to
- recognize feelings as they occur
- realize what is behind them
- realize what has caused them
|
28
|
- Self-management involves
- regulating our emotions after we have become aware of them
- acting on them
- changing them
|
29
|
- Self-motivation involves finding ways to motivate ourselves to
- think positively
- seek to overcome obstacles
- have clear goals and an optimistic can-do attitude
|
30
|
- Empathy entails
- being able to put ourselves in other people’s shoes
- seeing things from their perspective
- respecting differences in how they feel about things
- (Goleman, 1995, p. 268)
|
31
|
- Handling relationships involves the ability to
- inspire, influence, and develop others
- manage emotions
- be assertive
- communicate, listen, show warmth,
negotiate compromise
- think win/win
- believe in the principle of abundance

- First Criticism:
- Implicit Quest for Pastoral Power
- and Social Control
- Second Criticism:
- Gender Issues:
- Discrimination Against Women
|
33
|
- The individual is “seduced to police his or her emotions in the interest
of neoliberal, globalized capitalism"
- (Boler, 1999, p. xxii)
|
34
|
- Once you train people to look deeply within themselves, to become aware
of their emotions, of who they are and why they are like that
- once you train people to understand their emotions, to question them
- >>
|
35
|
- >>> you will be training them to use powerful cognitive skills
that cannot just be shut off when the state desires so, or when the
"pastor" so wishes.
|
36
|
- “Gender is powerfully ignored”
- (Boler, 1999, p. 62)
- Especially when it comes to showing empathy, which women are known to
naturally do.
|
37
|
- Here is the theory
- Here are the qualities that people in general need to have in order to
be happy and successful
- => Each person works on improving the qualities they are lacking
|
38
|
- I do not believe that EQ targets mainly men.
- It was coined by men, but both men and women have it and might need to
improve it.
|
39
|
- Men will take from this theory what they need in order to reach an ideal
of behaving both rationally and emotionally so as not to be accused of insensitivity
|
40
|
- Women will also take from it what they need in order to reach an ideal
of behaving both emotionally and rationally so as not to be accused
anymore of being touchy-feely.
- >>> Win/Win
Situation
|
41
|
- We all, teachers and students, have a different "emotional
baggage" that we carry with us into the classroom
|
42
|
- This "emotional baggage" stems from our
- Backgrounds
- Culture
- Gender
- Race
- Social class, and
- All the events that characterize our lives.
|
43
|
- >>In order for teachers to be able to understand their students'
emotional baggages, they need, first, to be aware of their own
emotional baggage and understand
it.
|
44
|
- What is useful:
- Natural Emotional Teaching that comes with many of the liberal arts and
with various value systems as well
- Courses directly focused on the topic should be approached cautiously
- (Mayer and Salovey, 1997, p. 19-20).
|
45
|
- Literature
- Art programs
- Music
- Theater, etc.
- >> are all excellent grounds to teach Emotional Intelligence
Skills
|
46
|
- EQ skills should be taught exactly like academic skills
- “Sequentially
- As part of a comprehensive program
- To every child
- Every day
- Every year
- Using a present/model/practice/ apply/reward format”
- (Salovey & Sluyter, 1997, p. 34)
|
47
|
- School-based mentors who work with the pre-service trainee teachers can
play a big role in helping those teachers improve their emotional
intelligence
- (Hawkey, 2006)
|
48
|
- Risk of Wrongful Implementation
- The way EQ skills may need to be taught is through the study of the
social and cultural contexts, steering away from teaching skills in
individualistic conditions
|
49
|
- Risk of Wrongful Implementation
- It is utterly unacceptable to put the blame on the individuals because
they do not have the right skills
- The way EQ should be implemented should actually be in harmony with EQ
- Teachers should be given appropriate training and follow-up in order
not to fall into the behavioral modification trap

- "No Man is Defeated Without until he is Defeated Within"
- -- Eleanor Roosevelt
|
52
|
- No teacher is defeated by education, or by his/her students, until
he/she is defeated within, in his/her core.
- We might be able to prevent defeat by
Incorporating Emotional Intelligence Skills in Teacher
Preparation Programs
|
53
|
- Take our problem seriously
- Recognize how emotions shape our
classroom interactions
- Brainstorm to come up with an excellent program that
- serves to incorporate EQ in teacher education
- sets the basis for the development of effective pedagogies of emotions
that benefit both teacher and student

- DID YOU KNOW????
- “44% of all Long Term Disability claims by teachers are stress related.
This is 3-4 times that of the general public
- One third of all teachers starting to teach today will leave the
teaching profession within five years?
- Teaching is the 4th most stressful profession?”

- A first year teacher went to her principal very upset with
the outrageous behavior of some of her students. They were
making her life hellish. The principal listened and said, "Look,
you're supposed to be a pro, so HANDLE IT." She left in tears.
