Online Teaching with Emotional Intelligence: Supporting Students in a Virtual Classroom

Abstract

Online Teaching with emotional intelligence (EI) is of interest to educators in grades 4-12 globally, as well as pre-service teachers who are new to online teaching. It targets those teachers trained in face-to-face classrooms who are now transitioning to online teaching and may lack in appropriate online teaching strategies and techniques to successfully connect with and foster relationships with their students. A secondary audience is school administrators who wish to support their district teachers by equipping them with an understanding of the important role emotional intelligence plays when delivering quality education. Contributing to both theoretical and practical literature, this poster presentation is research-based to provide educators with a repository of tried-and-true strategies and tools for developing an understanding of how EI can help teachers in a virtual environment and impact learning. Actual stories and insights from teachers in the field are shared.
