Educational Organizations: EI Application Suppose you asked the president of your local university and a third grader at your neighborhood elementary school what was the most challenging part of their school day? The similarity of their responses might surprise you. The university president might say “managing faculty and town-to-gown relationships,” and the third grader, “getting along with the other kids.” In essence, both the president and the third grader must rely heavily on their ability to manage relationships –their emotional intelligence for success in their respective academic spots. There is increasing evidence that for elementary, secondary and college students, emotional literacy programs have a positive impact on learning. There is also a growing body of research that suggests leaders in both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds with strong levels of emotional intelligence significantly impact their organizations’ outcomes. Successful administrators and teachers at all levels of our educational systems motivate, inspire, communicate, and generate an espirit de corps, so that the structure and the dynamics of teaching and learning can take place. A healthy dose of emotional intelligence running throughout our educational systems may be an invaluable and cost-effective component in school success.   An experienced psychologist and senior level educators present training programs on emotional intelligence to students, teachers, and educational leaders.
