Clark and Murray's (2005) article in
Performance Improvement Quarterly,
Mega-planning in Population,
examines six critical performance factors for a Mega-planning approach
to address the world's rapid population growth. The six critical
criteria used by the authors are provided below. The emotionally
intelligent pursuit of these selected performance criteria would result
in excellence within any organization!
1. Use new and wider
boundaries for thinking, planning, doing, and evaluation/continuous
improvement.
2. Differentiate between
ends and means. Focus on "what" (Mega/outcomes,
Macro/outputs, Micro/products) before "how."
3. Use and alignment of
all three levels of planning and results.
4. Prepare
objectives—including those for the ideal vision and mission
objectives—that have indicators of
how you will know when you have arrived.
5. Define "need" as a gap
between current and desired results (Not as Insufficient Levels of
Resources,
Means, or Methods).
6. Use an ideal vision as
the underlying basis for all planning and doing. |

EI News in Education from Galveston College
by Gary Low and Beverly Gammill
The innovative Quality
Enhancement Plan at Galveston College features an EI-centric teaching
and learning approach to improve student success and institutional
effectiveness. Emotional Intelligence: A Systematic Approach
to Student Engagement was the title of a P-16 program presented at a
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Conference by Beverly Gammill,
English Professor, and Dr. Beatriz Espinoza, former Dean of Academics,
Galveston College. They reported on the use of EI in English 1301
classes, ESAP assessment conducted at beginning and end of classes,
student feedback, and positive results achieved. Imbedded in the
curriculum are a variety of learner-centered instructional strategies,
including journaling, definition/classification, reader response essays,
peer group discussions, student presentations, role playing, I-Search,
Workbook, and quizzes. Nelson & Low’s
text and ESAP© assessment are used to facilitate student learning and
engagement. The
ideas of commitment ethic, empathy, point of reference, and social
settings are often highlighted in essays or short stories in writing
textbooks, such as The St. Martin's Guide to Writing (Axelrod &
Cooper,2004). In English class at Galveston College students are
encouraged to identify the range of emotions the writer evokes and
relate the Emotional Learning System© (Exploring, Identifying,
Understanding, Learning, and Applying) to the writing process
(pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing). In a
sense, writing is discovery and so it can complement intrapersonal
exploration and development very well. Writing teachers often recognize
that the main problem in teaching writing is the student's lack of self
confidence, no matter the age of the student. The ESAP© and ELS© target
three potential problem areas and ten emotional intelligence skills
including the intrapersonal competencies, self-esteem and stress
management.
Results of the ESAP© have also been used to help students who may be
at-risk of failure. For example, higher than average scores in
aggression have proven problematic for completing multiple semesters,
while the opposite seems true for higher than average scores in
commitment ethic. The information is used to identify students who
may need help earlier in the education process and it also suggests the
kinds of help that will most ably benefit the student. Professors aren't
the only ones who get excited about emotional intelligence. Some
students have indicated that they share their texts with relatives at
home, while others have questioned the lack of availability of EI
education at the high school level. These are smart kids! |

The Emotional Intelligence Leadership Advisory and Working Group
The
Emotional Intelligence Leadership Advisory and Working Group (EI LAW Group) was
formed in 2006 to provide consultation, guidance, and assistance for the
2007 Institute for Emotional Intelligence and beyond. As stated by Dr. Gary Low,
initial goals for the working group include: (a) guide the 2007
institute and ensure excellence in all aspects of the conference; (b)
expand the impact of the conference and EI research and application
initiatives; and (c) provide innovative, reflective thinking and
leadership for current and future EI directions.
The Institute for
Emotional Intelligence is indebted to the dedicated professionals who
have taken time from their busy schedules to
attend and contribute to the EI LAW Group meetings.
Their leadership provides valuable guidance and assistance to help
ensure the 2007 Institute for Emotional Intelligence
models its theme of excellence. The next EI LAW Group meeting is
schedule for January 25, 2007 in Rhode Hall 135. |

Emotional Intelligence for Managing Life Transition and Change
As the fall semester draws to a
close, the graduate and doctoral students in EDLD-6323 are concluding their
work in the topics course exploring emotional intelligence for managing life
transition and change.
The course utilized three books. Issue 110 (Summer 2006) of New
Directions for Adult and Continuing Education: The Neuroscience of Adult
Learning (S. Johnson and K. Taylor, Eds.) provided biological
foundations for the role of emotion in the healthy brain development in
adults. Emotional Intelligence: Achieving Academic and Career Excellence
(Nelson & Low, 2003) provided the education model for emotional intelligence
and the emotional learning system for pathways to good mental hygiene.
Finally, The Emotionally Intelligent Adult: Planning Career/Life
Transition and Personal Change (Nelson, Low, and Davis 2006) is used to
extend the education model of emotional intelligence to adult learners.
