How it works — measuring Emotional Intelligence

We facilitate assessment of Emotional Intelligence to identify strengths and weaknesses, track development over the course of each program and provide ongoing support.
Please see below for information about the measures we use.

How it Works

Why is measuring EI so important anyway?

Aristotle-EI recognises that no two school communities are the same. The Aristotle-EI team will partner with you to ensure each program is tailored to the needs and goals of your unique school community.

When including Aristotle EI development programs in a school curriculum, it is important to be aware of the key objectives for doing so. Being mindful of your goals provides vital opportunity to measure the success of your approach. Measuring EI outcomes in your school enables you to monitor how each program is functioning from year to year, allowing you to adapt your approach to meet the changing climate of your school community. This will help to ensure you are best positioned to reach your desired outcomes.

How can you use EI assessments in your school?

Collecting EI data can help you understand your students in greater detail. Aristotle EI can train you to use EI data to identify:

– Individual strengths your students possess

– Students who may need additional support

– Possible  hurdles to academic success in under-performing students

– Monitor aspects of social and emotional development

Participate in research

We are interested in collaborating with other researchers and teachers to learn more about emotional intelligence in schools. Please contact Maryanne Kapoulitsas if you would like to collaborate with us on research in this area or if your school is interested in participating.

Some of our current research studies include:
