Teacher Acceptability of Praise Across Grades (K-12)
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to expand the praise acceptability literature by examining K-12 teachers’ preferences for praise and whether their acceptability for praise, as a behavior management tool, declines as grade level increases. Teacher acceptability and preferences for praise and reprimand were collected through the Teacher Praise and Reprimand Preference Survey (TPRPS) which is a survey adapted from the previously existing Adolescent Preference for Praise Survey (APPS). A total of 140 teachers from rural, suburban, and urban school districts completed the TPRPS survey. Results of the study showed that as grade level increased, teachers reported to praise students less frequently for academic work and appropriate behavior. Significant differences were found between elementary and secondary teachers’ preferences for praising students’ work and behavior. Elementary teachers preferred to praise students out loud for doing their work, and reward students out loud and quietly with points for work, compared to secondary teachers. General education teachers reported praising students less frequently for doing their work and engaging in appropriate behavior compared to special education teachers. This is the first study to examine teachers’ acceptability and preferences for praise and reprimand and results may help inform teachers use of praise across grades K-12, with an emphasis on secondary teachers as research in this setting is scarce
Burnout in Resident Assistants of Color
Get PDFBurnout among Resident Assistants is very common due to the physically and emotionally demanding nature of the position (Stoner, 2017). For RAs of color, experiencing racism on campus and the barriers to higher education BIPOC individuals face can push them towards burnout more quickly (Jackson, 2012; Hotchkins & Dancy, 2017; Harper et al., 2011). While a multitude of research has been done on RA burnout, there is a significant gap in the literature regarding the BIPOC RA experience of burnout. This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews to examine how burnout in BIPOC RAs could be connected to their race. The findings suggest that burnout among participants was not related to their race, but feeling unprepared to handle distressing incidents, sensing a lack of support from upper-level Housing professionals, and seeing a lack of appreciation from their residents contributed to their burnout
