Description
Preliminary validation of the Scale of Emotional Functioning for Educators (SEF:ED) was informed by factor and item analyses from 97 inservice educators. As anticipated, three defensible factors emerged: emotional awareness, emotional management, and interpersonal relationships, with 10 items each and split-half reliabilities of .86, .71, and .80, respectively. Attendees will learn about the development of the SEF:ED and how EI is related to other variables of interest, such as burnout, years employed, etc.
