Bearings House: Community Reintegration Project
Research poster documenting the following project: Long Creek Youth Development Center offers a variety of activities, an education, mentorship, and structure for Bearings House residents. In addition to those programs, we hoped through building a relationship with residents we could identify their occupational interests and assist in their transition to life in the community. We strived to support residents through their transition to Bearings House and give them an opportunity to further explore their interests as well as expose them to new occupations they may have not previously participated in order to help as they reintegrate into the community.https://dune.une.edu/cecespring2020/1010/thumbnail.jp

Group 17 IPE Pain Conference With UNE Students Of The Colleges Of Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Social Work, And Osteopathic Medicine
Research poster describing the following:
Chronic pain is a serious health problem that continues to grow in prevalence. A study based on the 2008 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey indicated that chronic pain affects about 100 million adults in the United States, with an estimated annual cost that ranges from 635 billion. Current medical education on pain management is extremely limited, which in part leads to insufficient pain care by post-graduate health care providers. The program “Supervised Student Chronic Pain Clinic” is designed to help train health professional students to improve their abilities and provide them with experience in interprofessional practice and chronic pain management. The current study serves as a pilot study that will help us to evaluate the feasibility and the effectiveness of this “supervised interprofessional student clinic” approach.https://dune.une.edu/cecespring2020/1016/thumbnail.jp
Educator Perceptions Of Social-Emotional Learning Embedded In Academic Instruction To Improve Student Outcomes
Society, parenting, and public education have changed drastically over the past several decades. As a result, public schools recognize the need to address student social and emotional learning (SEL) in addition to their academic growth. Although there is abundant research into the benefits of SEL and various methods for delivering SEL instruction, there is a dearth of research studying teacher perceptions and understandings of SEL embedded in academic instruction. The purpose of this study was to explore teacher perceptions of social-emotional learning (SEL) during academic instruction. This phenomenological study’s research questions were (a) How do teachers’ past experiences and training with embedding social-emotional learning in academic instruction inform their approach to teaching? and (b) How and to what extent do teachers perceive they are addressing their students’ social-emotional needs during academic instruction?
Six teachers from a kindergarten to fourth grade public school participated in this study. Data was collected via an SEL survey, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Participants had a general understanding of SEL and focused their related work with students around the SEL competency of relationship skills. Each of the six participants relied on the stand-alone SEL program, Second Step, as the sole way of addressing the five SEL competencies with their students. There was little to no evidence of participants purposefully having students apply these competencies within academic settings. The researcher noted that participants addressed student emotions and relationships across their school day, but did not embed social and emotional skill instruction, practice, or application within academic content instruction.
All school districts must critically examine how they have implemented SEL and provide ongoing, targeted professional development to staff related to the five SEL competencies and embedding SEL within academic instruction. There is a need for future research into how teachers’ own social emotional development and SEL training impacts their ability to deliver meaningful, embedded SEL instruction to their student during academic instruction. Further investigation is also needed to determine to what extent a teacher’s inclusion of SEL during academic instruction improves academic performance for students compared to classrooms where SEL is provided only via a stand-alone program
Avoiding Cultural Calamities: Exploring The Influence Of Culture In Intercultural PLCs At An International School
This qualitative instrumental case study explored the influence of national culture within the context of professional learning communities (PLCs) at an international school. This study utilized Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory as the theoretical framework and drew from DuFour and Eaker’s characteristics of effective PLCs. This instrumental case study focused on one international school located in the European Union. The purpose was to engage international teachers who take part in weekly PLC meetings through a demographic questionnaire, one-on-one interviews and direct observation, in order to develop a better understanding of the influence of culture within those meetings. The study addressed two research questions: (1) what characteristics of professional learning communities, as defined by DuFour and Eaker (1998), are influenced by international teachers’ cultural values identified in Hofstede’s (2001) cultural dimensions theory? And (2) what strategies can K-12 teachers employ to better facilitate the functionality and effectiveness of an intercultural PLC at an international school? Participants of this study included ten teachers who represented four different cultures: (1) American (2) Canadian (3) French (4) Polish. Data was collected using a demographic questionnaire, one-on-one interviews, and direct observations. Holistic coding and values coding adapted a thematic analysis method and produced four themes and four subthemes, which were merged to present the findings. The themes presented in the findings were: an unclear mission, no direction, and a lack of buy-in, the change process and elicited emotions, leadership structure, and collaboration, communication, and trust. Recommendations from the findings and conclusions of this study include building on existing knowledge and structures, developing long- and short-term goals, clarifying leadership structure, and creating processes for monitoring
