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.
