How Teacher Implemented Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum Impacts Collective Teacher Efficacy and Influences Teacher Beliefs About Job Satisfaction

<p>“Teachers are the engine that drives social and emotional learning (SEL) programs in classrooms and schools, and their own social-emotional competence strongly influences their students” (Schonert-Reichl, 2017, p. 137). I wanted to examine if teachers benefited from teaching SEL. The purpose of my study was to examine if teachers perceived benefits to their Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE) and job satisfaction beliefs when they taught SEL. The context of my research was elementary schools in one school district. I conducted surveys with elementary school classroom teachers and counselors. The findings from my study indicated that classroom teachers perceived that their SEL instruction positively benefited their CTE and job satisfaction beliefs. I recommended leaders create SEL leadership teams at the district and school level to implement SEL reforms using an SEL Strategic Action Plan.</p>
