Interpersonal Assertion – Communicating for Success

Each state has its own professional development requirements that teachers are required to meet. Teachers are now expected to perform better in the classroom at a faster pace.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) plays an integral role in the workplace. Sure it’s important for employees to have a solid academic background and relevant work experience, but a large part of being successful comes from an individual’s level of emotional intelligence.
