Beyond IQ: The Power of EQ in Literacy Consulting
At Instructional Intensity Inc., literacy consulting isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about emotional intelligence (EQ). EQ means recognizing and responding to the emotional needs of others, and in education, that’s not optional—it’s essential. One recent example: a consultant paused scheduled vocabulary training after sensing that the staff, reeling from community tragedies, needed space to process and heal. That moment of empathy made all the difference. This kind of human-centered approach is core to the way Instructional Intensity works. By listening deeply, building trust, adapting as needed, and prioritizing well-being, they ensure their consulting goes beyond data—impacting not just instruction, but the hearts and health of school communities.
