Let's MAKE the a FIRST CHOICE for YOUNG PEOPLE...

Today is 2019 World Teachers' Day and this year's theme is "Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession”, which calls for a change in the narrative of how our youth view the teaching profession... Deciding to go to study "Education" in the higher institution should be greatly cherished like going to study "Medicine & Surgery" because they are both " PROFESSIONAL disciplines...

So we are calling on our Government and School Owners to "UP" the game in terms of remuneration and working conditions for TEACHERS so that more young people will desire to study EDUCATION as a FIRST CHOICE and willingly become HAPPY TEACHERS...

JOINT MESSAGE FROM UNESCO, ILO, UNICEF, UNDP AND EDUCATION INTERNATIONAL -
"With the theme: “Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession,” we recognize the critical importance of reaffirming the value of the teaching mission. We call upon governments to make teaching a profession of first choice for young people. We also invite teacher unions, private sector employers, school principals, parent-teacher associations, school management committees, education officials and teacher trainers to share their wisdom and experiences in promoting the emergence of a vibrant teaching force. Above all, we celebrate the work of dedicated teachers around the world who continue to strive every day to ensure that “inclusive and equitable quality education” and the promotion of “lifelong learning opportunities for all” become a reality in every corner of the globe."

In conclusion...

We celebrate all our dear teachers out there who are Purposefully and Passionately working to ensure that learners don't only get GOOD GRADES but also GOOD GROWTH...

Happy 2019 World Teachers' Day!

"A normal teacher only teaches you, a good teacher makes you understand, if he's great - then he'll show you how to apply it. But some teachers inspire us..." These are from the attached short video clip of an inspirational film titled "Hichki".

So as schools resume, we want to inspire all our dear teachers with this video (kindly click to watch it).

Our dear Teachers, please don't just take your teaching work as "just a job", instead handle it as a GREAT MISSION with the VISION of adding uncommon VALUE to LIVES.

Let your INFLUENCE have long-lasting positive IMPACTS and let your INFORMATION always bring TRANSFORMATION...

We celebrate YOU!

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE & MANAGEMENT SKILLS FOR TEACHERS

Emotional Intelligence (E.I.) is the "ability to recognise, understand and manage our own feelings as well as the feelings of others. It is the ability to show understanding and empathy, and it involves the ability to see things from other points of view" (Henig). Studies show that almost all children who do not do well in school, lack one or more elements of emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) was a term first used by Mayer and Salvoey who described it as: ‘the ability to perceive accurately, appraise and express emotions; the ability to access and or generate feelings when they facilitate thought; the ability to understand emotion and emotional knowledge; and the ability to regulate emotions to promote emotional and intellectual growth’ (Mayer & Salovey, 2001). Reuben Bar-on (2003) coined the term EQ for ‘Emotional Quotient' hence the acronym of EQ for Emotional Intelligence as opposed to EI. At the heart of EQ is the awareness of one’s own behavior in order to self-regulate and to understand other people’s behaviour. This might sound like a very indulgent way of behaving as a person constantly reflects on their own behaviour but it is only by noticing one’s own feelings that a person can stop and respond appropriately.

Emotional intelligence consists of four attributes according to Daniel Goleman:
- Self-awareness: You recognize your own emotions and how they affect your thoughts and behaviour, know your strengths and weaknesses, and have self-confidence.
- Self-management: You’re able to control impulsive feelings and behaviours, manage your emotions in healthy ways, take initiative, follow through on commitments, and adapt to changing circumstances.
- Social awareness: You can understand the emotions, needs, and concerns of other people, pick up on emotional cues, feel comfortable socially, and recognize the power dynamics in a group or organization.
- Relationship management: You know how to develop and maintain good relationships, communicate clearly, inspire and influence others, work well in a team, and manage conflict.
