Emotional intelligence is an ability to monitor personal and others' emotions before taking some action or showing some behaviour. Teacher effectiveness is a construct that measures how frequently teachers perform certain roles based on some standards. The purpose of this research is to find out the emotional intelligence, and teacher effectiveness of secondary school teachers with reference to gender, marital status, qualification, location of the school and types of institute. Normative survey method was used for the study by the researcher. The sample consisted of 70 participants selected from different secondary schools of Ratlam district through stratified random sampling technique. The instruments of this study were Teacher Effectiveness Scale TES developed by the researcher and The Emotional Intelligence EI inventory by Annaraja and Thomas Perumalil 1980 and redesigned by Thomas Alexander 2004 . The data was collected and analysed by using various statistical methods i.e. mean, standard deviation and t test. The results indicated significant relation between teacher effectiveness and emotional intelligence of secondary school teachers. Hence, there is a need to promote the emotional intelligence of teachers along with their subject knowledge and pedagogical skills for better efficiency in the teaching learning process in secondary education.
