From this figure of teacher leadership and the emotional skills it calls upon, does authority still have a place in the “student-teacher” relationship? Can one be authoritarian and charismatic? Can one listen and impose oneself at the same time? From approaches in terms of emotional skills, know-how, behavioral skills , this symposium set out to question these contradictions, if there are any. How can this managerial style, which creates a place for emotional pedagogy, modify the figure of the “Master” and authorize new forms of educational authority? In particular, based on multiple reflections and experiences (with children, adults, parents, in France, but also in Belgium and Quebec), it was a question of discussing and exchanging on these new forms that these relationships take and can take and on the skills and pedagogy that they suppose.
