Emotions and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in Teacher Education

5. On Incorporating EQ Skills in Teacher Education

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
