Read the full descriptionWhat place do staff confidence and readiness hold in the implementation of schoolwide social and emotional learning?
This doctoral dissertation examines school staff’s perceived self-efficacy in relation to social and emotional learning implementation, with attention to Christian school settings. The CASEL Theory of Action provides a guiding framework for considering the adult conditions that accompany organizational change.
The study directs attention beyond program selection toward the staff members whose daily participation gives an initiative its lived form. It is written for readers seeking a focused research foundation rather than a ready-to-use classroom activity collection.
For researchers, graduate students, and educational leaders, this volume offers a starting point for examining the relationship between implementation and the people responsible for it. Readers seeking a practitioner-oriented discussion can distinguish this original dissertation from Building Resilient Schools, which connects the research with questions of school leadership and practice.
