Emotional intelligence is the ability that allows us to express and understand our own emotions and those around us. It has gained great interest within the educational process. The research carried out is quantitative in nature, its objective was to know if basic education teachers have the emotional intelligence that leads them to better educational practices with their students; Using the survey technique, with a descriptive design, an instrument was used for data collection. The population was basic education teachers, with a sample of 90 teachers from the central region of Coahuila, specifically  30 from preschool education, 30 from primary education and 30 from secondary education; The results show that 57% of teachers must improve their attention because they pay very little attention to what they feel and express, 55% do not adequately understand their moods and 62% must regulate their emotional states. With this research it was determined that basic education teachers need to work on attention, clarity and repair of emotions to achieve an emotional balance that can be  reflected in the classrooms..
