Drawing from a larger study of teacher empathy, this article offers a critical race analysis of three teachers’ dispositions to discern (a) their social and emotional competencies (SEC) and (b) evidence of transformative social and emotional learning (SEL). Data sources include one-on-one teacher interviews, focus groups, document analyses, and more than 1,500 minutes of video-recorded classroom observations. Findings illustrate the influence of race, identity, and one’s conceptions of power for determining transformative expressions of teacher participants’ SEC. Implications for creating the conditions to effectively design and facilitate transformative SEL programming in urban school settings are discussed.


One of the key factors in increasing productivity and economic growth in the country is the well-established educational process, and as a result, the matching of people’s skills with the modern needs of the labor market. Important research problems concern the development of a new model of educational process management, which includes the formation of a person as not only a workforce, but also personality. The purpose of the article is to study the relevance of the implementation of socio-emotional competences in the modern educational environment for the formation of the demanded skills of the labor market, which is constantly changing. The research presents the main claimed types of abilities of a modern person, including a system of cognitive, social-emotional and technical skills, and emphasizes the growing importance of social and emotional skills. The five competencies of social and emotional learning are highlighted: self-awareness, self-governance, social awareness, interpersonal skills and responsible decision-making. According to a study by the World Bank and the report of the World Economic Forum «The Future of Workplaces», the skills that are in greatest demand today in society are grounded: analytical thinking and innovation, complex problem solving, critical thinking and analysis, active learning. It is important to know the structure of educational levels and their involvement in them in order to understand how and for whom to form the modern educational process. Therefore, the analysis of the distribution of the number of pupils, listeners and students studying in Ukrainian institutions and their gender component is conducted. The main tendencies of changes of participants of educational process in 2014-2017 are found at all levels of education. To improve the efficiency of management of educational process, the urgency of the introduction of social and emotional education into the educational process has been emphasized. The value and result of the influence of social and emotional education on each level of education, their interrelation and the degree of need are assessed.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to know the professional trajectory of the black nurse Maria Barbosa Fernandes and to analyze elements of her professional practice based on the cultural competence model of CampinhaBacote. Methods: historical-social study with an analysis of the findings in light of the Cultural Competence model. Results: Maria Barbosa was the first black woman to earn a nursing degree at the Escola de Enfermagem Carlos Chagas (Carlos Chagas Nursing School) (1935-1938), and the documentation about her history allowed us to infer the experience of discrimination and invisibility. However, her professional trajectory was marked by careful attention to the singularities and the sociocultural reality of individuals, with an emphasis on acting in vulnerable scenarios. Final Considerations: the pairing of the theme of black women in nursing with the reference of Cultural Competence consists of an invitation to value diversity in the profession and seek to move towards care committed to overcoming inequalities, through inclusive practices and culturally sensitive care.

This article presents findings of a bibliographic research which had as its scope identifying social and emotional skills proposed by different authors from this field. More specifically, it aimed to: classifying social and emotional skills by domains of competencies; detailing the skills related to self-awareness, focusing on the emotional dimension; proposing a lesson plan for promoting self-awareness in the classroom. The findings have shown that: by detailing social and emotional skills per competence, it may contribute to guide pedagogical activities based on theoretical pinpoints; deepening the theoretical foundations of emotions is essential for understanding the process of self-awareness; creating pedagogical sequences coherent and consistent with social and emotional development, requires the exercise of transposing theory into practice, respecting each educator’s singularities according to his/her reality in class.
