Although there are many models of emotional intelligence, they are often lumped together as “EQ” in the popular vernacular. An alternative term is “EI,” which comprises four domains: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Within those domains are 12 EI competencies, starting with emotional self-awareness in the self-awareness domain. Emotional self-control, adaptability, achievement orientation, and a positive outlook fall under self-management. Empathy and organizational awareness make up social awareness. Relationship management includes influence, coaching and mentoring, conflict management, teamwork, and inspirational leadership. Leaders need to develop a balance of strengths across these competencies. Assessment tools, like a 360-degree assessment that uses ratings from yourself and those who know you well, can help you determine where your EI needs improvement. To best improve your weak spots, find an expert to coach you.

We have started our Nonfiction Inquiry Unit and I am beside myself! I love, love, LOVE the way the students get so pumped about reading and learning facts!! To start out our reading unit, we used a modification of a Chart Chums chart to look into what it means to be an investigator. We changed Develop Theories into Research to help with our approach to inquiry. After picking research topics, we used our strategy of Questioning to help us guide our research. As the class was grouped off into their own inquiries we also did a class inquiry into space to model thinking and expectations. We then started to Determine Importance by asking, "What's important here?" With the help of the class, we created a list of strategies that can help us find important information. Language stems have changed my students "talk" this year. Supporting them while they are learning the language has been so important in the transfer process to when they finally own it. Since we are researching multiple text to find out information on a topic, I knew we needed to start comparing and contrasting and doing the REALLY big work of Synthesizing. This was our first venture....It continued today with more language stems and note taking on two text but in a more simplistic way. To help us with Synthesizing my team created a half sheet giving the students the language stem and a rubric of their expectation. I can't claim this idea but I sure do think it is brilliant. My wonderful cowork RA thought and designed our very first. It was a wonderful moment of genius for us all....give the kids their expectations in terms of what we want to see and their corresponding score...OH MY! Here it is for you: Synthesizing in Nonfiction Also check out my fellow coworker's post on Synthesizing: Ms. McTeacher: Synthesis and a *freebie* In writing, we also started our unit with this inquiry based chart. Our work from reading is carrying over to writing. We are sharing our new learning from reading in an All About writing format. We all were in need of a refresher course on what nonfiction authors use in their own work. After searching our text we chose these examples. It was time to make the big decision, "What in the world do you want to research?" and the big teacher question, "Do we have enough resources on that topic?!" My little chickies narrowed it down to 9 choices. They fill out their top three and I quickly sorted them into 6 groups making sure that all types of learners were in each group. In researching, I have found that kids just want to use their schema. So we had to have a little lesson on finding information, note taking, and using all parts of a book to research. My kids started with question and answer sheets, then used a detailed graphic organizer and finally have complied it all together into subtopics. Tomorrow we will begin to work on which facts they want to include in their all about book, the vocabulary that is important to their topic, and which text features will support their work. This is just little over a week into their work....so we have a bit to go! Look back for more inquiry fun soon :)
