Developing Educators’ Social and Emotional Competencies to Advance Educational Possibilities

Sat, April 13, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 3, Room 301

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium brings together scholars of social and emotional learning to discuss antecedents, correlates, and interventions focused on developing teachers’ social and emotional competencies (SECs). Using varied methodologies and study designs, the papers highlight that efforts to build teachers’ SECs may be met by unique challenges, but such efforts have the potential to impact diverse outcomes including teachers’ use of snarkiness towards students, creativity, culturally-relevant SEL, and racial literacy, outcomes relevant to advancing educational possibilities for both educators and students. Remarks on the presentations will be provided by a discussant and attendees will be invited to co-interrogate the research processes and co-construct calls to action in a question-and-answer format with the presenters.
