IECMHC is “a problem-solving and capacity-building intervention implemented within a collaborative relationship between a professional consultant with mental health training and expertise and one or more consultees” (<span><span>Cohen & Kauffman, 2005</span></span>). IECMHC is an increasingly common intervention in ECE settings, including in Head Start programs, where it is federally mandated; however, some confusion persists about the key components, strategies, and outcomes of high-quality IECMHC. Meanwhile, public understanding of the importance of interventions that support SEL starting in early life is also growing. However, little peer-reviewed work has attempted to integrate research and practice in the fields of IECMHC (which has largely existed in infant mental health spaces) and SEL (much of which has historically focused on middle childhood and beyond). To that end, this article: (a) highlights SEL as a developmental and relational process in infancy and early childhood; (b) describes IECMHC as a preventive and promotive intervention to support young children and their caregivers; (c) describes key evidence supporting IECMHC’s effects on adult and child SEL; (d) presents a novel visual conceptualization and case example illustrating the processes by which IECMHC supports adult and child SEL in ECE settings; and (e) proposes future directions for research, practice, and policy in integrating IECMHC and SEL initiatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101165,"journal":{"name":"Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100084"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) components align with both nutrition and mindfulness-based practices and can be integrated into programs to intentionally nurture the whole child. Mindfulness-based practice may be a unique strategy for childhood overweight and obesity prevention, as it has the potential to support children’s development of mind-body awareness and self-regulation to develop a healthy and nourishing relationship with food at an early age. This paper examines the complexity of self-regulation and explores common origins of general and eating self-regulation within families and early education and childcare settings, with a focus on the important roles of parents and teachers in supporting child behavior. Additionally, the intersections among SEL, mindfulness-based practices, and nutrition education are explored to show how these linkages may be utilized within the context of early intervention to shape children’s healthy eating and early self-regulatory behaviors. Finally, we discuss future research needs and implications to advance the understanding of connections between general self-regulation and ASR during this critical period of child development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101165,"journal":{"name":"Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100081"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143146823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, the Big Five personality framework has gained support as an organizing framework for various SE skills. While many prominent taxonomies of SE skills map to the Big Five, several additional models include skills related to motivation and growth mindset that do not align with the Big Five. We examined the extent to which these constructs overlapped with SE skills organized by the Big Five framework and whether they provided incremental validity in predicting school-related outcomes. ACT test takers (<em>N</em> = 1755) from across the United States, mostly from high-income families and predominantly in 11th or 12th grade, completed several measures. These included a measure of SE skills as organized by the Big Five (i.e., BFI-2-S), items on school-related outcomes, measures of motivation (i.e., MSLQ, Expectancy-Value-Cost Scale, Self-Determination Scale), and a measure of growth mindset (i.e., the Growth Mindset Scale). We found that growth mindset and motivation correlated with SE skills as organized by the Big Five. These constructs also helped predict additional variance in school-related outcomes, such as GPA and ACT scores. Given the independent contributions of growth mindset and motivation, incorporating these constructs into school-based assessments, alongside SE skills, could be beneficial in supporting students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101165,"journal":{"name":"Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100080"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One approach is to offer professional development that aims to not only support teacher well-being, but also restore a sense of community among teachers at school. Here, we describe a novel program, called <em>Together, We SOAR</em>, that offered skills, practices, and tools for cultivating compassion and community-building among teachers at one school district. Driven by the field of mindfulness and compassion education, the <em>SOAR</em> curriculum intersected contemplative practices with theories of human development to help teachers remember their self-worth, find presence, respond with compassion, and authentically connect with others. We present a curricular overview of <em>SOAR</em> and describe the implementation plan at one large, suburban K-12 public school district in Pennsylvania. We then share reflections from a school administrator on program implementation, as well as reflections from four K-12 teachers on the personal and professional impacts of <em>SOAR</em>. By focusing on compassion, community, and human development, we hope to offer a new approach to supporting teacher well-being, as well as inspire a more context-based strategy for teacher program implementation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101165,"journal":{"name":"Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100078"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143146824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
