Call for Papers

Special Issue: Social and Emotional Learning in Early Education

Early Education and Development

Guest Editors: Susan E. Rivers & Marc A. Brackett

?

Background

The goal of this special issue is to explore more deeply the role of social and emotional learning (SEL) in the development of 3- to 6-year-olds and programming efforts in classroom settings. SEL involves the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills related to self- and social awareness, responsible decision making, self-management, and relationship management (Elias et al., 1997; Zins, Bloodworth, Weissberg, & Walberg, 2004). Over the last two decades, numerous programs have been developed to promote SEL among children. SEL programs are designed to complement existing school curricula by teaching the social and emotional skills that contribute to better social and emotional adjustment and higher academic achievement. A recent meta-analysis of 207 studies examining the effects of SEL programs revealed that students enrolled in such programs perform significantly better in school and on standardized tests compared to non-participating students (Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, & Schellinger, 2011). This special issue will explore research, practice, and policy implications for SEL during the early childhood years.

?

Suggested topics include:

? Examinations of links between SEL and social and emotional development, cognitive development, and outcomes such as school readiness, social competence, and health

? Unique challenges and strategies for quality implementation of SEL programs in early education

? Methods for assessing SEL in early childhood and testing short- and longer-term impacts of SEL programs delivered in early education

? Active ingredients of effective SEL programming in early education

? Best practices for SEL professional development for teachers

? Role of the family in promoting SEL

? State-wide initiatives for addressing SEL in young children

? Integration of SEL programming into existing early education curricula: Challenges and opportunities

? Teacher practices and characteristics that promote SEL in young children

? Role of teachers? emotional competence/emotional intelligence in promoting the social and emotional development of young children

?

We invite both theoretical and empirical papers that draw on qualitative or quantitative data, as well as articles linking practice to policy.
