April 25, 2010

NatCon 2010 is major conference that will bring together over 500 leaders representing business, labour, practitioners and policy makers from across Canada to address the latest in career development and workforce learning programs and practices. ‘The EQ Gap: Prelude To Learning’ is being presented on Monday April 26 from 2010 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Abstract

Society has a dire EQ Gap. This starts at school, where cognitive skills development is given priority over social and emotional skills development. Problematically bullying and dropping-out are rising. This imbalance in valuing IQ and EQ skills continues into adulthood. Bullying and absenteeism are rising at work too. New holistic approaches are needed to address this double crisis. An overview of trends and innovative responses is provided. This includes an introduction to Prelude, a group learning game designed for middle schools, high schools, colleges, agencies, and the workplace.
