Student success should incorporate not only academic achievement, but also the skills and competence to identify and effectively pursue personal life goals. However, success has become narrowly defined by test scores, which minimizes students’ opportunities for growth and development. Research findings show the interrelatedness of social, emotional, and cognitive dimensions of learning and how these dimensions shape positive student outcomes. In this article, we discuss how schools can integrate social, emotional, and academic development in optimizing student learning. Foregrounding teachers, the engines that drive the educational practices within schools, we describe their role in shaping student outcomes and identify the essential knowledge and skills needed to create academically and emotionally enriched spaces for students. We discuss the gaps in current teacher education and professional development (PD) programs that result in teachers being ill-prepared for the realities of the classroom. Finally, policy implications for teacher education, PD, and school reorganization are discussed.

We consider the broad developments that have occurred over the past decade regarding our knowledge of how neighborhood context impacts intimate partner violence (IPV). Research has broadened the concept of “context” beyond structural features such as economic disadvantage, and extended into relationships among residents, collective “action” behaviors among residents, cultural and gender norms. Additionally, scholars have considered how the built environment might foster (or regulate) IPV. We now know more about the direct, indirect, and moderating ways that communities impact IPV. We encourage additional focus on the policy implications of the research findings.

High-speed railway (HSR) is a new and increasingly popular transportation mode in China bringing about a significant impact on the economy, including tourism development. This article investigates the effect of HSR on tourism development in China based on a time-varying difference-in-differences model. Cities connected by HSR in 2013 and 2014 are regarded as the treatment group, while those without HSR services until 2017 are placed in the control group. The empirical analyses cover a large panel dataset comprising 163 cities in 2009–2017. The empirical results suggest that both domestic tourism revenue and tourist number are positively affected by HSR, and the effect is stronger for the undeveloped or geopolitically less important regions such as the inland or prefecture-level cities. Other relevant determinants of tourism include the availability of airports and the number of hotels in the cities. Our research findings have important policy implications for tourism development in China with respect to HSR.

This research aimed to find out the influence of competence-based education and training (CbET) and motivation on the performance of civil service. This research was conducted from November 2008 to April 2009 at Dinas Ketrentaman dan Ketertiban DKI jakarta. A quasi method using stratified cluster random sampling was applied to involve 80 civil service out of 8000 members. The result of this study shows that (1) motivation influences the civil service's performance, (2) the form of CBET influences the civil service's performance; (3) the interaction between the training model and the motivation determines variations in civil service's performance; (4) there are differences between those who join CBET and those who do not. Those who join CBET have higher motivation to perform better. It is expected that these research findings can be used as a guidance to produce a new concept and strategy in education development and training for civil service.
