Abstract

Teachers’ social ties to colleagues are a key conduit of instructional and classroom management resources, and social and emotional support to meet teaching challenges. We argue that special education teachers’ formal and informal collegial ties are malleable contributors to factors that undergird their burnout. Using middle schools as an example, we use social network constructs and longitudinal analyses to demonstrate the limited extent to which special educators formally assigned to interdisciplinary teams actually forge and maintain constructive ties with their assigned colleagues. Furthermore, we describe the collegial qualities of the ties that special educators do form with general educators. By investigating the naturally occurring social ties of special educators within a prevalent social organization of teachers, we can identify strategies to help administrators align the formal and informal social structure of teachers, and interventions to support the qualities of special educators that promote strong ties to general educators, thereby increasing the social integration of special education teachers.
社会(失)融合:利用社会关系和网络了解初中特殊教育教师职业倦怠的潜在来源和杠杆点
教师与同事之间的社会关系是教学和课堂管理资源以及应对教学挑战的社会和情感支持的重要渠道。我们认为,特殊教育教师的正式和非正式同事关系是导致其职业倦怠的可塑因素。以中学为例,我们利用社会网络结构和纵向分析来证明,被正式分配到跨学科团队的特殊教育教师与其分配到的同事之间实际建立并保持建设性联系的程度有限。此外,我们还描述了特殊教育工作者与普通教育工作者所建立的联系的同事性质。通过调查特殊教育者在普遍的教师社会组织中自然形成的社会联系,我们可以确定一些策略,帮助管理者调整教师的正式和非正式社会结构,并采取干预措施,支持特殊教育者的素质,促进他们与普通教育工作者的紧密联系,从而提高特殊教育教师的社会融合度。
