How do emotional intelligence and empathy impact the online teaching experience?

Educators will have the opportunity to work on practical projects that they can apply to their own teaching practice. They'll also receive personalized feedback from our expert instructors, which will help them refine their skills and knowledge. EMILY: I love that. What about the community aspect of the course? How do our listeners get to connect with other educators? STEPHEN: Our course offers access to a global community of educators, where they can connect with peers, share ideas, and learn from others.
