Social And Emotional Learning: An Examination Of Perspectives On Using Faith-based Supports As An Option In Public-School Communities
type: CreativeWork
description: The present study involved an examination of perspectives on offering faith-based support as an option on an individual basis for social and emotional learning (SEL) within a public-school community. The research consisted of a survey of former and current public-school students and parents (N = 26) and a focus group interview of five former and current school administrators to gather their perspectives of their tenure within public schools and the need to provide access to faith-based supports within a public-school community. After analyzing the data, a majority of the survey participants agreed that access to faith-based supports for SEL within a public-school setting with individual consent on an individual basis is needed within the public-school community. Furthermore, the focus group agreed that faith-based supports are needed presently within public-school communities and would have been a welcomed support during their tenures as administrators, current or former. Given the demand for SEL supports, more research is needed to identify, from a cultural and spiritual aspect, the fidelity of providing access to faith-based supports for SEL within a public-school community. Keywords: public school, support, individual basis, needs, survey participants, access, based, research, spiritual aspect, examination, agreed, fidelity, community, social and emotional learning (SEL), faith, perspective, administrators, school administrators, consent
