The Institute of Education has organised a training workshop on the newly developed four-year Bachelor of Education programmes for supervisors in the various Colleges of Education in the country.

The workshop which was funded by the Transforming Teacher Education and Learning (T-TEL) brought together Vice Principals, Assessment Officers and Dean of Academic Affairs from the colleges.

A senior lecturer at the University of Dayton, in the United States of America (USA), Dr. Dorothy Mensah-Aggrey, has called on leaders to empathise with their followers to ensure their holistic development.

Dr. Mensah-Aggrey said the application of emotional intelligence played a significant role in a leader’s ability to impact positively in the lives of his or her followers. She said a leader should be able to understand the emotions of their followers in order to help them overcome their fears and problems confronting them.
