The purpose of this seminar delivered course is to develop new knowledge and applications of innovative teaching and learning assessment strategies, which significantly increase student performance. Participants will learn to utilize the Personal Skills Map assessment instrument as a tool for individual personal growth, and develop a personal profile or “map" of eleven personal and life skills, as well as three potential problematic indicators, all related to emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence is a learned ability to identify, experience, understand and express human emotions in healthy and productive ways.  Emotional skills are primary factors of motivation and the gateway to lifelong learning and high levels of achievement.  Research world-wide indicates that emotional intelligence skills are essential to all learning.  This intensive course will introduce educators, trainers and managers to the concepts of emotional intelligence to enable their students/employees to acquire new information more rapidly and with less stress.  Participants will receive instruction and practice in creating a carefully orchestrated, highly positive learning environment for making individual performance in any subject area more rapid, more effective and more enjoyable.
