CALL FOR CHAPTERS: Volume 1: Social and Emotional Learning in Teaching and Teacher Education

Edited by Roisin P. Corcoran, IRINSTITUTES & UCD,
Patricia Jennings, University of Virginia
Kimberly A. Schonert-Reichl, University of British Columbia

A volume in the Contemporary Perspectives on Social and Emotional Learning Series
Roisin P. Corcoran, IRINSTITUTES & UCD

This volume of the Contemporary Perspectives on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Series will explore social and emotional learning (SEL) in teaching and teacher education. SEL involves the process of implementing the skills needed to understand and manage emotions, show empathy for others, achieve positive goals, maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions (CASEL, 2015). Several jurisdictions have begun to incorporate social and emotional learning in teacher practices, policies or programs designed to improve teacher effectiveness and student learning. The editors invite chapter proposals involving high quality research drawing on diverse methodologies advancing the integration of SEL into teaching and teacher preparation. We welcome related research evaluating interventions including practices, policies or programs designed to embed SEL to improve teacher effectiveness. Interventions of interest are those implemented during teacher preparation, or for those employed already in the teaching profession. Relevant categories of interventions include: 1) teacher preparation (universitybased traditional teacher preparation programs or alternative teacher preparation programs), 2) teacher induction (interventions targeting novice teachers), 3) teacher professional development. Conceptual proposals that critique theoretical frameworks and analyze policy dimensions are also encouraged.

Proposal:

Chapter proposals should be submitted on a single-spaced page, and should include your name, affiliation, email address, a tentative title, and abstract (200 words maximum). Also include a brief biography (300 words maximum) and relevant high-quality publications. Chapter proposals must be emailed as a single Word file document consisting of 2 pages to Roisin P. Corcoran (rcorcoran@irinstitutes.org) by April 30, 2018.

Chapter Submission:

Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by June 30, 2018 about the status of their submission and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters, ranging from 7,000 to 8,000 words in Times New Roman 12, double spaced text, inclusive of title, abstract, manuscript, and references, should be submitted as a Microsoft Word email attachment by July 30, 2018. Manuscripts should conform to 6th edition APA style conventions. See Author Guidelines at http://www.infoagepub.com/guidelines.html. Graphics and images may be included.

Drawing on the author(s) own research, chapters should include questions for readers to think critically about key concepts. Text boxes should be used to explain key themes in order to engage readers in the arguments outlined. The chapter should conclude with a summary of research methodology insights, and recommendations readings for further exploration.

“The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators released the Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics (SPTM; amte.net/standards) in 2017. To generate guidance as to how to apply teaching of mathematics with technology, a call for manuscripts is being extended by Contemporary Issues in Technology and Mathematics Teacher Education (CITE-Math). The following quote from the SPTM illustrates how important preservice teacher (PST) preparation can be:

Well-prepared beginners are able to guide students in exploring how technology can be used to explore patterns, shape, transformations, and sequences. Technology can assist one in making connections between multiple representations, and it can help students communicate their mathematical ideas to their classmates. Well-prepared beginning teachers are particularly prepared to use “mathematical action technologies” (p. 125).

Technology use is not to be taken lightly in building a healthy mathematics identity for all students. Mathematical reasoning and sense making is essential in students’ knowing and doing of mathematics. Teachers need to know when to support students’ learning needs with the use of technology. To understand appropriate design and implementation of technology, one must understand how mathematics learning takes place when using these tools. “These are powerful tools for doing mathematics that will be a part of the lives of the students they teach” (p. 125). This claim applies to elementary and middle levels of mathematics education as well as high school.

Being mindful of teaching techniques in intentionally designed technology can help change the teaching of mathematics into a joyful and purposeful activity while reinforcing effective teaching practices, promoted by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and AMTE through their SPTM. First, one must start with a well-defined goal, then look for visual, interactive patterns to help in making predictable relationships that support mathematical sense making.”
