Abstract
Emotional knowledge informs much of our understanding, and yet, it is rarely formally considered in school. This study involves the investigation of emotional intelligence in education, specifically through online teacher education. Emotional intelligence theories were included in an online course in cognition and critical thinking in education as foundational psychological frameworks to apply to educational practice. Participants studied and applied theories in emotional intelligence in lesson designs and educational projects. Lesson Designs were full-length lessons for inclusion of applications of theory. Project Designs were group projects incorporating theory into an educational resource. Lesson and project designs were analyzed for application of emotional intelligence theory in instructional design.

Summary
The goal of this research is to value and measure the inclusion of emotional intelligence in education. This study is part of a series of studies investigating theories of thinking in education design and educational training. The study was embedded in a course in Critical Thinking for Teaching and Learning at a California School of Education. A previous paper (Kaplan, 2017) describes the course. The course was comprised of several components including core relevant content in the form of theoretical frameworks, assignments geared toward designing instruction and education, and collaborative communication.
