THE STUDENT EQEDGE Facilitation and Activity Guide

This Facilitation and Activity Guide is a companion to
the book The Student EQ Edge: Emotional Intelligence and Your
Academic and Personal Success . It offers faculty and
facilitators a hands-on resource for helping students reach their
potential by tapping into the power of emotional intelligence. The
Facilitation Guide includes exercises and activities which
are designed to help students develop confidence, independence, the
ability to set and meet goals, impulse control, social
responsibility, problem-solving skills, stress tolerance, and much
more--all of which help improve academic success. The Guide
also contains a wealth of illustrative case studies, questions for
student reflection, movie selections and TV shows that illustrate
emotional intelligence, and a self-development plan.

"The single best resource on emotional intelligence in student
affairs, The Student EQ Edge: Student Workbook and
Facilitation and Activity Guide are well organized,
creative, and offer everything an emotional intelligence
facilitator would need in a fast-paced student affairs environment.
The examples are soundly constructed and resonate with students.
These materials are my go-to resources."--Candice Johnston,
associate director of student leadership and organizations, Wake
Forest University"If I were building a new course to improve
student success, it would be founded on emotional intelligence. All
the instruction in the world on 'study skills' cannot touch the
advantages that come to students who are able to manage their
emotional intelligence. And the best news of all is that these
skills can be taught. EQ skills make the difference." --Randy
L. Swing, executive director, Association for Institutional
Research

"This Facilitation and Activity Guide is particularly
useful, offering options from which the facilitator can draw in
preparing assignments or learning community meetings. The focus on
learners' needs, and particularly an authentic exploration of self
and purpose, is practical yet has the potential to draw students to
a deeper understanding of self that will draw them to high
performance and contribution to others."--Dennis Roberts,
assistant vice president for faculty and student services for the
Qatar Foundation
