Additionally, theoretical perspectives position links between teacher emotional exhaustion and children's disruptive classroom behavior as being influenced by other proximally occurring teacher-child interactive processes. The purpose of the study is twofold: 1) longitudinally examine the bi-directional relationship between teachers' emotional exhaustion and children's disruptive classroom behaviors, and 2) examine the degree to which teachers' classroom interactions (i.e., emotional support, instructional support, and classroom organization) mediate this longitudinal and potentially bi-directional relationship. 756 preschool-aged children and 101 preschool teachers across 17 schools serving children from primarily low-income families within the southeastern United States were examined. Data were collected through a multiple-methods approach. Multi-level path models examined the bi-directional associations between teachers' emotional exhaustion and classroom-level child disruptive behaviors and the mediating role of teacher-facilitated classroom interactions. No bi-directional or mediational links were found; however, teachers' emotional exhaustion was linked to children's disruptive classroom behavior and classroom disruptive behaviors were linked with teachers' emotional support and classroom organization. These findings underscore the importance of supporting teachers' well-being to promote children's classroom behaviors and maintain effective teacher classroom interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":11448,"journal":{"name":"Early Education and Development","volume":"36 4","pages":"793-817"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12057766/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143987265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach may be especially important for early childhood teachers, who must deliver academic curricula and attend to children's social-emotional development while maintaining high-quality program standards in increasingly challenging environmental contexts. However, to effectively provide RS to early childhood teachers, supervisors must first be trained in this approach. This paper describes the results of one such innovative training effort using data from a statewide, community-based program evaluation and a pilot open trial in the United States. Participants (N = 83 supervisors) were offered foundational training in RS followed by monthly skill-building sessions. We used a concurrent mixed methods approach, integrating observational, survey, and interview data collected simultaneously to assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the RS professional development series. Data integration was achieved through contiguous narrative and joint display approaches.</p><p><strong>Research findings: </strong>The RS series was feasible to implement, acceptable to participants, and led to improved reflective supervisory competencies.</p><p><strong>Practice or policy: </strong>The RS series may represent an opportunity to effectively support the early care and education workforce, and in turn, benefit children.
