Full textResearchers and educators recognize the benefits of developing students’ social and emotional competencies, but there is little research about the impact of leadership practices on the social and emotional competencies of adults in schools. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the relationship between leadership practices (i.e., what leaders think and do) that promote SEL opportunities, and how they shape the work of mental health staff (MHS) — defined in this study as, school counselors, and nurses. Findings indicated that school-based leaders promoted SEL opportunities for MHS when they (1) provided time to meet, (2) provided resources for professional development, (3) provided feedback through dialogue, (4) accessed MHS’ expertise through dialogue, and (5) provided coaching. These leadership practices shaped the work of MHS proactively. These findings suggest that principals should use social awareness to diagnose issues within the school, engage in responsible decision-making to set direction, and promote relationship-building to convince MHS to implement a plan

Full textThe purpose of this research was to study the effects of an Emotional Competency Training Program, based on two conceptual models of Mayer & Salovey Model of EI and Goleman model of EI and one action model of Six Seconds Model of EI, on the development of emotional capital of primary school children in Pakistan. The sample of the study was the 4th class students from Amanat Memorial High School in Lahore, Pakistan. The class of 32 students was randomly divided into 16 students for experimental group and 16 for the control group. Different students from both groups could not participate in post-test or follow up and finally the 9 students for each group were included in the final data analysis of this research. The research had a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a follow up after the two month from posttest phase. The data was analyzed statistically by using the multivariate repeated measures analysis of variance technique with SPSS software. The results of the research demonstrate that the experimental group significantly increased the emotional capital scores at post-test phase as compared to the control group’s mean scores. While the experimental group, compared to control group, sustained this development up to the follow-up phase two months after the post-program phase

Full text¿Qué hace que las personas sean eficaces en el trabajo? En las ultimas décadas, comparaciones entre el desempeño superior y el promedio muestran que las personas con mayor desempeño en el trabajo son aquellas que manifiestan competencias comportamentales, las cuales estan relacionadas con el comportamiento emocional y social. Con la integración de teorías de diferentes campos, esta tesis contribuye al actual debate sobre competencias comportamentales facilitando una mejor comprensión de sus antecedentes, resultados y mediciones. La demanda persistente en el mercado de trabajo de profesionales con habilidades comportamentales más altas subraya la necesidad de profundizar en la investigación y averiguar, a parte de la formación protocolar, qué más puede ayudar al desarrollo de dichas competencias. A partir de la teoria de aprendizaje experimental, el primer estudio, basado en una muestra de estudiantes licenciados, revela que una serie de actividades extracurriculates propias de la vida real parecen predecir diferentes clústers de competencias comporamentales. El segundo estudio evalua el impacto que las comptencias comportamentales tienen sobre la forma en que los estudiantes licenciados encaran su carrera profesional y como ello afecta a su empleabilidad. El tercer estudio tiene como objecto medir con eficacia competencias comportamentales con finalidades evaluativas y de desarrollo personal. En dicho estudio se desarrolla un instrumento de medida con la intención de poner al día, ampliar y superar algunas limitaciones propias de las escalas existentes. Basado en una revisión de la literatura y investigaciones empíricas adicionales, se propone un nuevo y exhaustivo marco competencial, y se desarrollan y validan las correspondientes escalas de medida. Dicha investigación ofrece un novedoso modelo de medida para competencias comportamentales y muestra la importancia de su desarrollo ya a una edad temprana de la vida con tal de ayudar a los estudientes a aventurarse con éxito al mercado laboral.
What makes people effective at work? In recent decades systematic comparisons between best and average performers showed that people who perform best in their job are the ones who manifest behavioral competencies, which are the ones related to emotional and social behaviors. Through the integration of theories from different fields, this thesis contributes to the current debate on behavioral competencies by providing a better understanding of their antecedents, outcomes and measurement. The persistent demand in the job market for professionals with higher behavioral competencies, underlines the need for further research to understand, besides formal training, what else may enhance behavioral competencies. Drawing on experiential learning theory, the first study, based on a sample of graduates, reveals that a range of real life extracurricular activities seem to predict different clusters of behavioral competencies. The second study assesses the impact of behavioral competencies on the way graduates approach their career and the effect that this approach has on employability. Results indicate that behavioral competencies are critical not only for professionals to succeed in their careers, but also for students to better orient themselves in the career path and increase their employability. The third study aims at effectively measure behavioral competencies for both developmental and evaluation purposes. It develops a measurement instrument intended to update, enlarge and overcome the limits of existing scales. Based on literature review and additional empirical investigation, a new comprehensive competency framework is proposed and the related scales are developed and validated. This body of research offers an innovative measurement model for behavioral competencies and shows the importance of their development at an early stage in life to successfully guide students in their venture into the job market.
Cosa rende le persone efficaci nel loro lavoro? Negli ultimi anni una comparazione sistematica tra i performer migliori e quelli nella media ha evidenziato che le persone con le migliori prestazioni sono quelle che dimostrano competenze trasversali, ovvero competenze legate a comportamenti di comprensione e gestione di emozioni e relazioni. Attraverso l’integrazione di teorie provenienti da diversi ambiti scientifici, questa tesi contribuisce all’attuale dibattito sulle competenze trasversali attraverso l’approfondimento di fattori che facilitano lo sviluppo di queste competenze, una miglior comprensione dei loro effetti e delle loro modalità di misurazione. La persistente discrepanza in termini di competenze trasversali tra domanda e offerta nel mondo del lavoro sottolinea la necessità di indagare maggiormente i fattori che possono contribuire allo sviluppo di queste competenze. Basandosi sulla teoria dell’apprendimento esperienziale, il primo studio condotto su un campione di studenti universitari, fa luce sull’impatto di una serie di attività extracurriculari su diverse tipologie di competenze trasversali. Il secondo studio valuta l’influenza delle competenze trasversali sul modo in cui i neolaureati orientano la propria carriera e le relative conseguenze in termini di employability. I risultati ottenuti indicano che le competenze trasversali risultano critiche non solo per il successo nella carriera di professionisti, come precedentemente enfatizzato dalla letteratura, ma anche per un efficace orientamento alla carriera degli studenti e una conseguente maggiore occupabilità. Il terzo studio propone un efficace strumento di misurazione delle competenze trasversali, volto ad aggiornare, ampliare e a superare i limiti dei modelli esistenti. Basandosi sull’analisi della letteratura e su un’addizionale ricerca empirica, lo studio propone un nuovo modello di competenze trasversali e presenta lo sviluppo e la validazione delle relative scale. Questa ricerca fornisce un modello innovativo di misurazione delle competenze trasversali e mostra l’importanza del loro sviluppo sin dalle prime fasi per guidare con successo gli studenti verso la loro avventura nel mondo del lavoro.

Full textTraditionally, district leaders are the initiators of large-scale reform efforts including the establishment of social emotional learning (SEL) initiatives. However, school-based leaders also bear the responsibility of implementing the programs and practices associated with such district-wide initiatives. While there is a significant body of research on strategies leaders can use during the implementation process, as well as the content of those strategies that enable sensemaking, there is little information about what district and school leaders should do to ensure successful implementation of social emotional learning (SEL) initiatives. Further, no research to date has focused on the manner in which district leaders support school-based leaders as they make sense of a district-wide focus on SEL, and how such a focus on SEL shapes school-based leadership practices. This study is part of a larger qualitative case study about leadership practices that model SEL competencies for adults or, promote the social and emotional learning for teachers and other staff, and the way those leadership practices shape a district and its schools in a Massachusetts public school district. The purpose of this individual study was to examine, through the lens of sensemaking, how district leaders supported school-based leaders as they made sense of a district-wide focus on SEL, how a district-wide focus on SEL shaped school-based leadership practices, and which school-based leadership practices, if any, modeled SEL competencies. Findings indicate that district leaders supported school-based leaders’ sensemaking by articulating a clear mission and goals, providing structures that fostered collaboration, and supporting professional development. However, the school-based leaders’ sensemaking could be deepened through greater opportunities to share their learning through collaboration. School-based leaders acknowledged that a district-wide focus on SEL shaped their leadership practices, namely that SEL serves as the foundation from which they lead. More specifically, all respondents mentioned leadership practices associated with the competencies of social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Implications suggest successful implementation of district-wide SEL initiatives relies on district leaders creating and supporting interactions that will support school-based leaders’ sensemaking of a district-wide focus on SEL

Full textLa presente tesis investiga el papel catalizador de la inteligencia emocional (IE) comportamental, sobre la relación entre la inteligencia general, o g, y el desempeño en la aprendizaje. La tesis comprende tres artículos empíricos, encabezados por una introducción global – donde se presenta el marco teórico general- y un último capítulo dedicado a la discusión general de los resultados, limitaciones, implicaciones prácticas y recomendaciones para la investigación futura. Todos los estudios se basan en la población de graduados de gestión en una escuela de negocios líder en Europa. El primer artículo verifica la validez y la fiabilidad de la medida de múltiples evaluadores de comportamiento de la IE, el Inventario de Competencias Emocionales y Sociales (ESCI), y cuestiona si hay algunos tipos de evaluadores (ej., en los contextos personales y profesionales), que son más aptos que otros para evaluar ciertas competencias. Mientras se verifica la hipótesis de que hay un orden sistemático en las evaluaciones, también se muestra cómo algunas competencias tales como la conciencia de la organización o el autocontrol emocional son mejor asesoradas por los evaluadores con una relación simétrica con la persona (ej., amigos, colegas de trabajo). El segundo artículo mueve el enfoque sobre la relación entre la IE comportamental y una medida de inteligencia general, el Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), para cuestionar si estos constructos son lo suficientemente divergentes como para asegurar la validez discriminante de la IE comportamental. La contribución más importante de esta tesis se presenta en el tercero artículo. Desarrollamos y probamos un modelo de interacción tarea-dependiente para inspeccionar el papel moderador de la IE sobre la relación entre la inteligencia general y el desempeño en la aprendizaje cuando dos tipos distintos de tareas, relacionados con dos dominios cognitivos antagónicos – social y no social (o material) –, son realizados. Con base en una muestra de 864 candidatos internacionales de MBA, los resultados revelan que, aparte de un efecto positivo de las competencias emocionales y sociales en el desempeño de profesionales ejecutivos en el aula, estas competencias moderan la relación entre g y el desempeño en la aprendizaje. Mientras encontramos evidencias de que en tareas no sociales, el IE comportamental tiene un efecto más fuerte en el desempeño en la aprendizaje cuando los alumnos están caracterizados por un bajo nivel de g, nuestros datos dan poco suporte a la hipótesis principal por la cual, en las tareas sociales, la IE tiene un efecto catalizador o promotor de la relación entre las capacidades cognitivas y el desempeño en el aprendizaje. Para facilitar la discusión de los resultados hemos realizado entrevistas ex-post en grupos de enfoque con tres equipos de candidatos de MBA. En estas entrevistas hemos descubierto un problema más profundo relacionado con la naturaleza individualista de los sofisticados sistemas de trabajo, con los cuales los candidatos MBA realizan sus tareas de equipo. De hecho, por forma a gestionar múltiplos trabajos, los MBA intentan minimizar el tiempo de interacción y discusión en sus equipos, y no llegan a experimentar una efectiva colaboración entre todos, con dialogo y intercambio de ideas, ayudándose unos a los otros, juntos en un propósito común de aprendizaje. El capítulo final ofrece un debate general sobre los resultados de los tres artículos empíricos, reconociendo sus limitaciones y debatiendo ideas de fructíferas oportunidades para futuras investigaciones. En concreto, presentamos implicaciones prácticas de nuestros resultados, y sugerimos diseños específicos de investigación y ciertos contextos en el que el modelo de interacción tarea-dependiente podrá reunir más evidencias y estimular la futura creación de investigación novedosa.
The present thesis investigates the catalyzing role of behavioral emotional intelligence (EI) over the relationship between general intelligence, or g, and learning performance. It comprises three empirical articles embedded within an overarching introduction - including an overall theoretical framework - and a final chapter dedicated to the general discussion of findings, limitations, practical implications and avenues for future research. All studies are based on the population of management graduates at a leading European business school. The first article verifies the validity and reliability of a multi-rater measure of behavioral EI, the Emotional and Social Competencies Inventory (ESCI), and inquires whether certain types of raters (e.g., in the personal and professional contexts), are relatively more apt than others, to assess specific competencies. While it confirms the hypothesis that there is a systematic order in ratings, whereby personal raters observe a higher degree of leniency bias than professional ones, it also shows how some competencies such as organizational awareness or emotional self control are best assessed by raters with a symmetric relationship with the person (e.g., friends, work peers). The second article shifts the focus onto the relationship between behavioral EI and a measure of general intelligence, the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), to inquire whether these different but related constructs are divergent enough to assure the discriminant validity of behavioral EI. The most important contribution of this thesis is presented in the third article. We develop and test a task-dependent interaction model to inspect the moderating role of EI over the relationship between general intelligence and learning performance when two distinct types of tasks, engaging two antagonistic cognitive domains – social and non-social (or material) tasks –, are undertaken. Based on a sample of 864 international MBA candidates, the results reveal that, aside a positive main effect of emotional and social competencies on the classroom performance of professional executives, these competencies moderate the relationship between g and learning performance. Whereas we find evidence that in non-social tasks, behavioral EI has a stronger effect on learning performance among candidates characterized with a low g, our data shows little support to the principal hypothesis, whereby in social tasks EI catalyzes or improves the relationship between cognitive abilities and learning performance. To aid the discussion of these findings we conduct ex-post focus groups with 3 teams of MBA candidates, and uncover a deeper problem tied with the individualistic nature of the sophisticated work systems students implement to get through their team assignments. Indeed, in order to cope with multiple requests they strive to minimize the actual interaction and group discussion with their teams, bypassing the opportunity to engage in real teamwork – that is to collaborate and help one another in their shared learning purpose. The concluding chapter stirs an overarching discussion on the results from the three empirical articles, acknowledging their limitations and offering insights of fruitful opportunities for future research. Specifically, we draw practical implications from our findings, and suggest specific research designs and context settings wherein the task-dependent interaction model we develop may gather further evidence and stimulate novel research.

Full textThe differential effects of the achievement gap on lower-income youth persist in this country (National Association of State Boards of Education, 2013). Recognition of the role of Out-of-School Time (OST) factors contributing to achievement differences has been growing (Gordon, Bridglall, & Meroe, 2005). As a result, OST programs have been gaining popularity; however, program efficacy varies. Socio-emotional climate represents one area of quality that likely influences student outcomes. Socio-emotional climate was assessed through a custom observation tool from a larger study. Social competence and resilience was the outcome variable as measured by the DESSA-RRE. Factor analysis empirically profiled the socio-emotional climates of 37 summer learning programs from five school districts across the country, resulting in four “GROW” dimensions of socio-emotional climate: (1) Growth-promoting Instruction, (2) Resolve and Focus, (3) Organization, and (4) Warmth. Given the randomized control design of the larger study, variability among the 37 climates was limited. Thus, hierarchical linear regression examined the influence of climate on students’ outcomes. HLR found that the socio-emotional climate explained a statistically significant (R2=0.12, p<0.001, f2=0.14) amount of variance in students’ social competence and resilience, above and beyond demographics alone ( R2=0.005, p=0.007, f2=0.01). Moderation results were non- significant. Limitations to the study centered on data collection and quantitative methodology. Implications for both counseling psychologists and OST providers were discussed at length, notably supporting programs towards Growth-promoting Instruction

Full textDesde que Salovey y Mayer introdujeron la denominación de inteligencia emocional (IE) y Goleman popularizó el concepto en los años noventa, ha aumentado constantemente la investigación en los campos de la psicología, la educación y el management con el fin de entender su naturaleza y sus efectos sobre diversas variables de la vida, como un desempeño excelente, la efectividad del liderazgo, la satisfacción en la vida, e incluso en cuestiones de salud, como la resistencia al estrés. Estas relaciones mayoritariamente positivas subrayan la importancia de la IE, así como la necesidad de desplegarla para mejorar el desarrollo personal. Independientemente de los distintos modelos de IE que se sigan y de los instrumentos de medición que se apliquen en cada uno de ellos, la investigación ha demostrado que en todos estos ámbitos puede desarrollarse la IE. Sin embargo, todavía existe poca evidencia sobre cómo se realiza en la educación superior y con qué eficacia. Tras abordar el área relativa a los modelos teóricos, los tres papers que conforman esta tesis doctoral se centran en determinar la validez del constructo utilizando distintas medidas para las competencias emocionales y sociales (CES), así como en la necesidad y las posibilidades de desarrollarlas en la educación superior. El primer estudio analiza algunas de las principales críticas formuladas al concepto de IE, básicamente referidas a la calidad de los estudios empíricos previos, debido a la falta de un constructo o de validez incremental de algunos de los instrumentos de medición. En este caso, se estudian en detalle dos instrumentos diferentes, utilizados para medir las CES desde el punto de vista de la conducta. Por una parte, el Inventario de Competencias Emocionales y Sociales – Edición Universitaria (ICES‐U), que es un cuestionario de evaluadores múltiples que se utiliza en cursos de desarrollo del liderazgo para evaluar 12 competencias emocionales y sociales y 2 competencias cognitivas. Por otra parte, la Entrevista de Incidentes Críticos (EIC), que es una técnica en que los participantes explican experiencias relacionadas con el trabajo, que después son codificadas en base a siete competencias emocionales y sociales que coinciden con las del ICES‐U. Se comparan los resultados de los informantes en cuestionarios de 360º con los resultados de las EIC de 87 estudiantes. Las entrevistas han sido codificadas por dos codificadores formados previamente, con una fiabilidad entre codificadores de > 0,7 y se han debatido hasta alcanzar un acuerdo total sobre la existencia de competencias en el resultado final. Los resultados muestran correlaciones significativas entre las evaluaciones de los compañeros de trabajo sobre la competencia “trabajo en equipo” y de las parejas sobre “desarrollo de los demás” con los resultados obtenidos de las EIC. Estos resultados, además, indican la presencia de deseabilidad social en algunos indicadores para la “orientación al logro”. Algunas competencias parecen más difíciles de evaluar mediante observadores externos, como la “empatía”. También se han hallado correlaciones significativas entre algunas competencias, medidas a través de autoevaluaciones y a través de las EIC, lo cual indica que las autoevaluaciones pueden ser más “realistas” de lo esperado. El segundo estudio comparte la experiencia de introducir un proyecto interdisciplinario en un programa de máster de una facultad de derecho española. Esta innovación pedagógica surgió de la necesidad de preparar mejor a los estudiantes para responder a las expectativas de sus futuros empleadores, lo cual exigía el desarrollo de competencias. Se configuró el currículo de una nueva asignatura, denominada “Módulo 9”, conforme a la Teoría del Aprendizaje Experiencial (TAE). Equipos de estudiantes trabajaban en proyectos que habían seleccionado ellos mismos, y sus procesos de aprendizaje eran complementados por talleres y tutorías. La consecuencia de ello fue que la experiencia práctica impulsó el aprendizaje de los estudiantes en los proyectos prácticos, que fueron parcialmente implementados en colaboración con algunas empresas locales. La codificación de los memorándums de aprendizaje evidenciaba que cada equipo había aplicado cada modo de aprendizaje durante las distintas etapas de los proyectos. Y, si bien las evaluaciones acerca de la experiencia fueron, en general, positivas, el grado de conocimiento del propio proceso de aprendizaje podría haber aumentado a lo largo del curso. Entre las reflexiones de los profesores se incluía la necesidad de mejorar el sistema de ayuda a los estudiantes para gestionar las emociones durante el proceso de aprendizaje. Ello llevó a modificar el diseño del currículo para la promoción siguiente, con el fin de incluir la evaluación y el desarrollo de competencias emocionales y sociales. El tercer estudio es el seguimiento de este mismo programa y describe cómo la Teoría del Cambio Intencional (TCI) de Boyatzis se combina con el trabajo en equipo en un proyecto interdisciplinario, con el objetivo de crear un marco para el cambio autodirigido, basándose en la evaluación y el desarrollo de CES. Además de ocho talleres y varias tutorías, se ofreció a los estudiantes tres sesiones individuales de coaching para garantizar que los objetivos de equipo se alineaban al máximo con los objetivos personales. Las CES se midieron dos veces durante el año académico, mediante el ICES‐U de evaluadores múltiples: primero, a los 3 meses del inicio del programa y, de nuevo, al final del año académico. Los resultados de las evaluaciones exploratorias de los 18 participantes mostraron un cambio positivo en el desarrollo de las CES en general. La calidad de esta investigación está siendo debatida críticamente y se están revisando las líneas recomendadas de investigación futura, así como las implicaciones de estos estudios.
Since Salovey and Mayer introduced the name emotional intelligence (EI) and Goleman popularised the concept in the 1990s, research has continuously increased among the fields of psychology, education and management to understand its nature and its effects on diverse life variables such as outstanding performance, leadership effectiveness, life satisfaction and even health issues like stress resistance. These mostly positive relationships underline the importance of EI and the need to develop them for further personal improvement. Independently from the different competing models of EI and the subsequently applied measurement tools, research has shown that in each of these approaches EI can be developed. However, evidence on how and how effectively this is done in higher education is still scarce. After covering the areas of the theoretical models, the three paper sections of this doctoral thesis focusses on establishing construct validity among different measures of emotional and social competencies (ESC) and on the need and possibilities of developing them in higher education: The first study taps into some of the major criticisms on the concept of EI that have been voiced, mainly referring to the quality of previous empirical studies due to the lack of construct or incremental validity of some of the measurement instruments. Here, a closer look is taken at two different instruments used to measure ESC from a behavioural perspective: On the one hand, the Emotional and Social Competencies Inventory ‐ University Edition (ESCI‐U) as a multi‐ rater questionnaire is used in a leadership development course to evaluate 12 emotional and social intelligence competencies and 2 cognitive competencies. On the other hand, the Critical Incident Interview (CII) is a technique in which participants relate work‐related experiences and are then coded based on seven emotional and social intelligence competencies which coincide with those of the ESCI‐U. Informant results of the 360º questionnaires from 100 students who have also participated in voluntary interviews are compared. The interviews have been coded by two trained coders with an inter‐coder reliability of > 0.7 and then discussed to reach 100% agreement on presence of competencies for a final result. Results show significant correlations among colleagues’’ assessments of teamwork and spouses’ of developing others with the results from the CIIs. Findings suggest the presence of social desirability in some indicators for achievement orientation. Some competencies seem more difficult to assess through external observers, such as empathy. Significant correlations were also found between some competencies as measured through the self‐assessments and the CIIs, which indicates that self‐assessments might be more “realistic” than expected. The second study shares the experience of introducing an interdisciplinary project at a masters’ program at a Spanish law school. This pedagogical innovation rose from the need to better prepare students for the expectations of their future employers which required the development of competencies. The curriculum of a new course called “Module 9” was framed according to Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). While student teams worked on self‐selected projects, their learning processes were accompanied by workshops and tutorials. As a consequence, practical experience drove students’ learning within the applied projects which were partly implemented in collaboration with local companies. Coding of learning memoranda showed that each team applied each learning mode during the different stages of the projects. While evaluations about the experience were generally positive, awareness of the learning process itself could be increased throughout the course. Reflections from professors included the need to improve the support system for students to manage the emotions during the learning process. This led to changing the curriculum design for the following cohort by including the assessment and development of emotional and social competencies. The third study is the follow‐up of the same programme and describes how Boyatzis’ Intentional Change Theory (ICT) is combined with the interdisciplinary project work in teams with the objective of creating a framework for self‐directed change based on the assessment and development of ESC. In addition to eight workshops and various tutorials, students were offered three individual coaching sessions to ensure the best possible alignment of personal and team goals. ESC were measured twice during the academic year with the multi‐rater ESCI‐ U: once, after 3 months into the program and then again at the end of the academic year. The results of exploratory evaluations for 18 participants showed positive change on the development of ESC in general. The quality of the present research is discussed critically and future research lines recommended as well as the implications of the present studies reviewed.

Hardy Dr. Vincent Cho, Chair, Dr. Elida Laski, Reader, Dr. Ingrid Allardi, Reader Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an essential component of every student’s education. District leaders play an important role in the development and implementation of SEL programs in schools. This qualitative case study explored the strategies used by district leaders in supporting sensemaking of SEL initiatives as they were implemented. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with district and school leaders, focus group interviews with teachers, and a document review. Findings revealed district leaders employed strategies in the broad areas of setting direction, developing people, and redesigning the organization (Leithwood et al., 2004). However, there was no district-wide, unified vision for SEL programming, and the majority of SEL reform was advanced by principals. SEL interactions mostly occurred between principals and teachers, and between members of the teaching staff. SEL interactions were focused on essential principles of SEL initiatives, procedural information about SEL implementation, and crisis-driven support for individual students. Some interactions supported sensemaking. One recommendation of this study is to set a district-wide vision for SEL learning to align practices and provide a framework for principal autonomy. This study also recommends establishing structures that support collaboration in order to promote sensemaking through SEL interactions

Full textThis case study of a public school district in the Northeast United States explores the leadership practices of elementary and middle school counseling staff and principals in supporting SEL, using a distributed leadership framework (Spillane, 2006). Data sources included 24 interviews with administrators, guidance counselors and social workers and document review. Findings indicate counseling staff support students and staff in a variety of ways through both formal and informal leadership practices. Principals support SEL by establishing SEL programs or strategies to match the needs of their student population. Two different models were found for how guidance counselor and social worker responsibilities are structured. The most common model, in six of the nine schools, is a tiered model where guidance counselors work with the majority of students on academic support/monitoring and delivering SEL lessons. Social workers focus on smaller numbers of students with more intensive needs. The second but less common model, in three of the nine schools, does not differentiate the roles of social workers and guidance counselors and instead assigns responsibilities by grade level. Concerns with this second model were raised by some administrators and several counselors. The quality of peer and administrator relationships was reported to be supportive and collaborative in the schools with differentiated roles. In the non-differentiated schools, it varied, and was related to shifting staff, a misunderstanding of the role differences, and challenges in developing collaborative relationships. Recommendations include assessing support structures to ensure the model adequately supports the SEL needs of the school

Full textThe purpose of this project is to argue that in order for social and emotional learning (SEL) goals to achieve their intended outcomes for students and society, religious pluralism must be reflected in student instruction. SEL involves the use of evidence-based practices to provide opportunities to develop competencies related to self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making which are intended to enable students to demonstrate morally appropriate actions and ethical decisions, which I am calling "right behavior."
It is my argument that one's understanding of right behavior embodies both implicit and explicit moral beliefs based on one's worldview which reflects a certain conception of the good life and the good society. In many cultures this concept is shaped by the dominant, organized religion of the group. However, the religious diversity in the United States since its inception led to an American tendency to privatize religion and avoid meaningful public deliberation of competing views of the good life and the good society. However, I contend that this paradigm is no longer adequate for equipping twenty-first century students with the background knowledge, critical thinking, problem-solving, and ethical judgment skills required for full participation in the social, political, and economic spheres of society. Instead, I am proposing a SEL-religious studies model that values religious freedom, equality, and neighborly affection, and recognizes the presence of moral and religious pluralism in American society.

Full textLeaders in organizations face complex situations, including how to develop valued leadership qualities to enhance an organization's performance. Research suggests improved emotional intelligence across various types of organizational leaders enhances charisma, connection, supports increased rates of promotion, and higher salaries. One measure of organizational effectiveness that has emerged more so in the research of the last decade is employee engagement. Although employee engagement has been studied, research regarding its association with the social competences of emotional intelligence has been limited. In this dissertation study I conducted research to investigate the potential relationships between emotional intelligence social competencies as representative measures of effective leadership traits in order to assess whether an association exists between relationship management and social awareness and the employee engagement scores a leader receives from his or her direct reports.

Full textThe inclusion of social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools is becoming a pertinent topic in the field of education. Teachers and administrators are recognizing a need to support students’ social and emotional growth alongside their academics. Young adolescents in grades 6 – 8 are in a developmental stage during which the acquisition of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills could be particularly beneficial and supportive to their ability to lead healthy lives. In this project-based thesis, the author based her research on the question; how are North Carolina (NC) public schools supporting the social and emotional development of their middle school students? This question was formulated in order to support the project of this thesis, the creation of a development plan for a public charter middle school in NC that focuses on social and emotional learning. The research method utilized in this study was grounded theory as developed by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss (1967). Data was collected through a survey sent to public middle schools across NC and through interviews conducted with school administrators. Constant comparative analysis was the process through which all of the data was analyzed. Results of this research found that 80% of the surveyed schools implement SEL programming and the majority of those schools believe SEL to positively affect many facets of their school including academic success of the students, physical and emotional safety, and the relationship between the students and teachers. Strategies the participating schools used to implement SEL programming were also discovered in this study. These consist of having distinct lessons on SEL topics and skills, integrating parts of SEL throughout the entire school, use of mentoring, inclusion of aspects of SEL in student discipline, having programming meet the unique needs of the school, and evaluating the students’ progression in SEL. Results of this study also indicated several design elements of SEL programming, which include having SEL be a united effort of all faculty and administration, providing teachers with support, sharing responsibility for the programming with the students, and allocating sufficient time to SEL programming. The findings of this study have been used by the author to inform the creation of the school development plan included in this thesis. By adding to the discussion of how to provide SEL to middle school students in NC, this study can be a resource to any educator in the process of developing SEL programming for their students.

Full textThe present study examined the initial and follow-up effect of Strong Kids , a social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, among a sample of 106 third and fourth graders. Students were assigned by classroom to either the treatment or wait-list condition, and completed questionnaires on SEL knowledge ( Strong Kids Knowledge test) and perceived use of SEL skills (the Coping Scale, Social and Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale) across 3 assessment periods (pre-testing, post-testing, and follow-up). The classroom teachers also completed a social functioning questionnaire (the School Social Behavior Scales-2nd edition) on each student at each assessment period. The classroom teachers implemented 12 weekly lessons across a 3-month time period and 1 booster session approximately 1 month after the last lesson. They also promoted generalization of SEL skills by providing praise and pre-correction to students on the SEL skills they were learning. Analyses revealed that the treatment group had greater positive gains across all of the dependent measures from pre-test to post-test. These gains maintained at the 2-month follow-up period, providing preliminary evidence of the preventative quality of SK . The results are discussed within the broader framework of a three-tiered model of support for SEL, and the possibility of using SK as a universal level of support within school.

Full textSocial-emotional learning has gained much leverage in education reform discussions, but little research has been done on the effectiveness of SEL programs in rural classroom settings. This thesis studies the outcomes of one SEL curriculum, Project Happiness, in a rural project-based learning school, Teton Valley Community School. Additionally, this thesis aims to identify teaching practices that promote students’ SEL competencies. The data was collected in a split third and fourth grade classroom over a nine-week period from April 2015 to June 2015. The program led to student growth in social and emotional competencies, specifically self-awareness and self-management. Limitations of the study and implications for further research are discussed.
