Emotional Intelligence and Teacher Shortages

Welcome to the Kentucky Teacher Education Journal. This edition has two exciting articles. One discusses Emotional Intelligence and how EI affects academic performance, decreasing behaviors, and decreasing bullying. In effect, EI positively affects all facets of life! The other article examines teacher shortages. Not only teacher shortages but the replacement of these teachers with underqualified teachers.
