Teacher behaviors and personalities can have an effect on student achievement. Based on Daniel Goleman's five components of emotional intelligence, this guide shows how self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, social awareness, and relationship management can help teachers increase their effectiveness in the classroom. The authors provide research, case studies, and essential exercises that help teachers:
• Understand how their conscious and unconscious behaviors affect the learning environment
• Refine their verbal and nonverbal communication skills
• Manage their feelings and frustrations
• Interpret student behaviors, developing insight into how students perceive teachers
