Teaching with Emotional Intelligence: A step-by-step guide for Higher and Further Education professionals 2nd Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
The way teachers shape and handle their own feelings and those of their learners is central to the success of learning. Now in its second edition, Teaching with Emotional Intelligence shows how to manage this influential yet neglected area of learning and teaching. This practical book looks at how lecturers and teachers can develop and use their emotional intelligence to enhance their teaching and their students’ learning.
Taking the reader step-by-step through the learning process and looking at the relationship from the perspective of both the teacher and the learner, this book will help the reader to:
- plan the emotional environment;
- learn how to relate and listen to learners effectively;
- read and respond to the feelings of individuals and groups;
- handle and reveal their feelings as a teacher, as appropriate;
- develop self-awareness as a teacher;
- recognise their prejudices and preferences;
- improve non-verbal communication;
- plan for the physical experience of learners;
- deal with their learners’ expectations, comments and questions.
This book contains a number of revised activities, checklists and points for deeper reflection as well as new chapters on teaching with emotional intelligence with international students, in online learning and in working one-to-one with students. It will help all teaching professionals encourage their learners to become more engaged, creative, positive and motivated.

1) That the actual classroom value of the book to me seems less than, say, a more generally focused book that highlights interpersonal skills (e.g. Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Successful People") and the book itself is so sparse; essentially made up of almost two-dozen blog posts (with better quality than you'd expect from even a decent blog, but not that much more content). The exercises usually have something to recommend them, but are so bog-standard that they're hardly a worthwhile selling point.
2) That a book about treating students as individuals generally treats incoming teachers as monoliths; it may preach self-reflection and introspection, but the advice it gives is not tailored to individual experiences.
3) The fact that of the information presented, 80% aligns with my experiences of practice and my fairly substantial reading, 10% seems to be true but presented in a way that is probably misleading to the uninitiated, and 10% is just plain nonsense.
Probably the best example of the 10% of information that is true, but presented in a misleading way, is the focus on emotional intelligence itself. In one of the early chapters, emotional intelligence is presented alongside teaching skills (e.g. presentation and planning) and content area knowledge in a Venn diagram, but it's not clear to me that this is a useful model. Good teachers will possess all three, but the claim that an equal amount of energy should be invested in each overlooks the fact that teachers basically reach the level of their lowest competence, and the proper investment of energy is to overcome whatever deficits exist.
One of the places that rankles me more is the application of Rogerian therapeutic methods in the classroom; this overlooks the different roles that teachers and therapists or psychologists have with respect to their learners/clients. It also overlooks the fact that the domain specific language of the fields differs, though there is only a passing mention to the idea that there could be a difference between the two.
Of course, since the book generally mentions refutations or criticisms of its preferred theories only in passing, and not really in the meat of their complaints, this would be expected. The proper response to a refutation is to sink into the meat of it; in this manner potential errors within generally acceptable methodologies can be avoided. This is ignored both in the book's dismissal of counter-Rogerians (who are dismissed as "pathologizing emotions," a claim that may be true but doesn't automatically invalidate their points; there are people who place high levels of value and respect on emotions and find flaws in Roger's assertions, which is also overlooked) and in its treatment of White's refutation of Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, which brings up the point that learners do not necessarily have so wildly differing aptitudes as Gardner postulates (e.g. that the "How are you intelligent?" theory has been taken beyond its real value), and that a better emphasis should be made on appropriately presenting content through proper methods (something that is borne out more reliably in study) rather than trying to adapt content to different methods which might not be appropriate to the content itself.

Nous avons acquis le livre en tantque ressource academique pour les enseignant de notre école.
I recently started lecturing in adult education at short notice, and this has been invaluable as part of my crash course.
The appendices and activity sheets do not appear and much of the text is missing.
I regret wasting my money on this version. The book is fine - good in fact - but DO NOT BUY ON KINDLE.
