The Role of Peer Relationships in Developing, Promoting, and Maintaining Teachers’ Social and Emotional Competence in the Charter School Setting

Social and Emotional Competence (SEC) is comprised of five main components: self awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Within the context of K-12 education, SEC is typically explored through the lens of student achievement or student progress. This area of research is noteworthy as teachers aretrained in SEL to assist and support students, not themselves or one another (Wiglesworth et al., 2016). Although teachers may receive training on SEC, the teachers rarely are the focus of that training (Aldrup et al., 2021). One area of particular interest is the setting of charter schools and how they address SEC. This distinction is relevant due to the increased number of charter schools throughout the K-12 school system. How do charter schools address SEC for teachers rather than just for students? Looking at teacher SEC as something that exists independently of student outcomes, this study sought to examine the role that peer relationships played in the development, the promotion, and the maintenance of teachers’ SEC. Employing a primarily quantitative approach and demographic information, Likert-scale survey questions, and open-ended questions, this study uncovered themes related to teacher SEC and the role of peer relationships. The findings from this study include statistical significance for the correlation between new teachers, Hispanic teachers, and Interpersonal Relationships. In addition, the charter school environment impacts Teacher Social and Emotional Competence. These findings contribute to the knowledge and understandings of teacher SEC, and provide insight into how charter schools address teacher SEC

Uncovering Teaching Faculty Personas to Understand Comfort Levels in Using Technology in Their Online Classes

Faculty’s knowledge about, and comfort with, the use of technology tools are key components in online teaching. Faculty are not only expected to be adept with basic computer functionality, like creating and editing documents and managing files, but also in navigating their institutions Learning Management System (LMS) and utilizing course teaching technologies and tools. Together these areas comprise a significant portion of design and facilitation of an online course and are related to learning outcomes. When engaging with the online learning environment, it is thus critical for each instructor to consider their personal level of comfort utilizing various online technology tools and resources. For faculty to be successful in the online classroom space, identification of individual needs and skills associated with teaching online must be determined, and resources curated. Over the spring and summer of 2022, 40 UNLV faculty across 10 colleges were interviewed about their experiences in online teaching with the aim to uncover prevailing themes that will serve to inform future interactions and professional development offerings. Growth through professional development, combined with use of online tools and targeted teaching resources by instructors can result in more robust course creation and preparation, elevated student support and learning outcomes, and enhanced student engagement and success.https://digitalscholarship.unlv.edu/btp_expo/1194/thumbnail.jp
