Survey Reveals Teachers’ True Feelings About Social-Emotional Education

Survey Reveals Teachers’ True Feelings About Social-Emotional Education
SHARE

In recent years, the teaching community has observed a concerning trend in classrooms across the country: students are facing more challenges with their social-emotional skills than ever before. A survey conducted among nearly 500 teachers in the We Are Teachers community shed light on the successes and limitations of implementing social-emotional learning (SEL) in schools.

The data revealed that a staggering 75% of teachers have witnessed a significant decline in students’ SEL skills over the past decade. Heather G., a third-grade teacher from Colorado, shared her experience post-pandemic, stating, “I’ve encountered more dysregulated kids than ever before. Evacuating the room due to behavioral issues used to be a rare occurrence, but now it happens once or twice a month.”

Maura Jones, a high school teacher in North Dakota, highlighted the challenges she faces with student motivation and initiative. She emphasized the need for more time dedicated to teaching SEL to address the ongoing issues in her classroom. Katherine Sharpe from Virginia echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of explicitly teaching skills like impulse control, problem-solving, and perspective-taking, albeit at the expense of other educational priorities.

According to teachers, the top skills students struggle with the most include impulse control (67%), self-motivation (42%), and problem-solving (40%). Additional challenging skills cited by teachers were respect for others, self-discipline, stress management, empathy, and considering others’ perspectives.

Despite the challenges, the majority of teachers (79%) believe that SEL has a place in the classroom, with 77% feeling comfortable teaching it. However, opinions on the effectiveness of SEL implementation vary, with 48% of teachers noting improvement, 43% reporting minimal to no progress, and 9% remaining uncertain.

While recognizing the potential of SEL, teachers identified several areas for improvement to enhance its impact. These include the need for standardized, high-quality SEL instruction, additional time and expertise for teaching SEL effectively, increased buy-in from students, teachers, and parents, and a method to assess and monitor progress in SEL skills.

In conclusion, while SEL is deemed crucial for students’ overall well-being and success, there is a consensus among teachers that more robust support is essential for its successful implementation. From clear standards and consistent instruction to increased time, training, and engagement from all stakeholders, the key components must align to make SEL a truly effective tool in education. As one teacher aptly put it, “Consistency is the key, and we don’t have that… yet.”
