Emotional Intelligence is a key component of our Physical Education and Health curriculum at Charlotte Latin School, taught in grades 6-9. A recent assignment asking students to identify how people around them are using Emotional Intelligence during the pandemic and quarantine period prompted students to reflect on the importance of flexibility, social responsibility and empathy, among other concepts. I am so thankful that our students had these proficiencies to help them during this unusual experience.

“Realizing the significance of social-emotional competencies for success in school, careers, and relationships, the Middle School staff at Charlotte Latin School called on Korrel Kanoy to design a continuum of age-appropriate emotional intelligence lessons for students in grades six through nine. Each year over these four years of immense changes and transitions for early adolescents, our students engage in non-threatening activities, film clips, and games as they practice skills that have immediate as well as long-term relevance. .

Graduate Healthcare Admissions & Student Development

Admissions

Do you sometimes find that you admit students into your graduate healthcare program and then they don’t perform well in clinical rotations? And, many of these students performed well in the didactic learning portion of the program. So, what’s wrong? Simply put, they lack the emotional intelligence skills to be successful as clinicians despite their academic skills. So, what should you do? You have two options:

  • Begin assessing these non-cognitive skills in the admissions process.
  • Help students develop these non-cognitive skills while they are in your program through training and coaching programs.

Most programs choose option #1 because they don’t believe their faculty have the time or expertise to teach the non-cognitive skills.

Here’s how it works:

  1. We interview selected faculty, staff, and/or clinical supervisors to determine what is derailing your students. Are they demonstrating unprofessional behavior? Arguing with their clinical supervisor? Not handling stress and pressure? Blaming others when they make a mistake?
  2. Then, we develop interview questions with specific rubrics that will detect these problem areas and also identify for you who has terrific non-cognitive skills!
  3. Finally, we train your faculty to use the questions and rubrics.

And, if you are interested in Option 2, we can provide emotional intelligence coaching for your students or infuse emotional intelligence skill learning into existing courses.

We have worked with medical schools, CRNA programs, DNP, PT, OT, and PA programs. Here’s a representative list of our graduate healthcare clients:

  • Duke University Nursing School
  • East Carolina Brody School of Medicine
  • Franciscan Missionaries of our Lady University
