Emotional Intelligence and coaching skills

Teachers today need more than just teaching skills. This Erasmus+ course helps you rediscover confidence, motivation and purpose. Apply emotional intelligence and coaching techniques in the classroom. Enhance self-awareness, interpersonal skills and create emotionally supportive learning environments.

Description

To combat teacher burnout and disaffection, educators must look beyond traditional teaching to master emotional intelligence and coaching. This evolution focuses on five key areas:

  • Knowledge: Understanding coaching techniques and emotional intelligence (EI).
  • Self-Awareness: Boosting confidence and empathy through better self-regulation and interpersonal skills.
  • Application: Using coaching to guide student goal-setting and provide constructive feedback.
  • Environment: Applying EI to manage classroom dynamics and foster supportive spaces.
  • Growth: Creating personal action plans for continuous professional development.

By adopting these skills, teachers rediscover their motivation and move from frustration toward a sense of renewed purpose.

Learning Objectives

  • EI & Coaching in Education — Core Concepts: Master the five pillars of EI—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills—to improve classroom dynamics.
  • Self-Awareness: Educators analyze personal triggers and strengths to create a development plan that minimizes emotional reactivity in the classroom.
  • Interpersonal Mastery: Focus on active listening, non-verbal cues, and constructive conflict resolution to build rapport with students and peers.
  • Coaching Framework: Use the GROW Model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) to move beyond instruction into student empowerment through questioning and goal setting.
  • Integration: Design emotionally safe learning environments and provide coaching-style feedback to foster continuous student growth.
