- Abstract
Teachers' beliefs about emotions in the classroom and their role in promoting students' social and emotional development were examined in relation to teacher background characteristics and their implementation of a social and emotional learning (SEL) program. Participants included 58 elementary school teachers who were either hosting an SEL curriculum - the Roots of Empathy (ROE) program - or in comparison classrooms. Self-report measures assessed dimensions of teachers' emotion beliefs (i.e. Bonds, Expressiveness, Instruction/Modeling, Protect, Display/Control) and teacher background characteristics (e.g. grade-level taught, years of teaching experience). Teachers hosting the ROE program also completed measures assessing program implementation. The results indicated that several dimensions of teachers' emotion beliefs were significantly related to both teacher background characteristics (note that the effect sizes were minimal) and the implementation of the ROE program (where moderate effect sizes were found). These findings bolster research on teacher-related factors associated with SEL program implementation and the need for SEL training and teacher support to maximize program effectiveness.
