This electronic portfolio documents the doctoral and masters level topics class in educational
leadership lead by Dr. Gary R. Low
in the fall semester, 2006. We hope the information presented will add to
understanding of the role of the education model of emotional intelligence (Nelson & Low, 2003) in
healthy life transition and change. The course utilized three
texts. Issue 110 (Summer 2006) of New Directions for Adult and
Continuing Education: The Neuroscience of Adult Learning (S. Johnson and K.
Taylor, Eds.) provides biological foundations for the role of emotion in healthy
brain development in
adults. Emotional Intelligence: Achieving Academic and Career Excellence
(Nelson & Low, 2003) provides 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.
