Results from hierarchical regression analyses revealed changes in teachers’ perceptions of the teacher–student relationship that predicted students’ perception of the same relationship. We also found that similar coregulated changes in two curiosity scales can be attributed to the intervention, as can a small change in teachers’ stress tolerance from the pre- to post-test data collection periods. We discuss implications for school relationships and school counseling services.

Participants included a diverse sample of 30 secondary educators teaching in Title 1 school districts. Participants received 5 weeks of consultation based on mindfulness and SEL. Results of hierarchical linear regressions revealed statistically significant improvement in teachers’ mindfulness disposition of acting with awareness. Further, results indicated a practically significant decrease in teacher-reported stress and conflict in the student–teacher relationship. We discuss implications for offering direct services to teachers through consultation with school counselors as a way of providing indirect services to students. Results of this study illustrate how teachers might benefit from school counselor consultation that supports their use of mindfulness strategies and SEL skills in coping with the demands of teachin...

It is imperative that interventions delivered in schools promote self-empowerment by cultivating student capacities in culturally apposite ways. The authors describe the results of a longitudinal phenomenological qualitative study of 57 culturally diverse middle school students who participated in a combined social and emotional learning and mindfulness, as consistent with the Advocating Student-within-Environment school counseling theory and practice scheme. Emerging themes included changes in students’ expression of emotions, enhanced self-control over cognitive responses, enhanced self-control over behavioral reactions, greater sense of connectedness, and use of mindfulness dispositions. The authors address implications of the results and considerations for future research.

Theories that inform school counseling must cohere with the unique needs of students and school environments. Therefore, we propose that school counseling theories must include the following constituents: (a) qualities of students and school environments, (b) empirical and professional endorsements, (c) school counseling customs, and (c) methodological relevance. We describe the utility of these constituents through example using a school counseling–specific theory, the Advocating Student-within-Environment approach.

The suggestion that school counselor identity is always both educator and counselor is neither trivial nor a semantic distinction. Reshaping the narrative to suggest that school counselors are situated as educators who are oriented by counseling has the potential to mitigate much of the role ambiguity that has persisted in the profession for decades and, more important, has the potential to sharpen practice and contribute to greater student and schoolwide outcomes.

We investigated relations between maternal harsh parenting and young children’s sleep and consistent with health disparities and cumulative risk perspectives, socioeconomic status was considered as a moderator of these associations. Participants were 172 mothers of children between the ages of 2 and 5 years (mean age of children was 3.30 years) from diverse ethnic (47% of children were White/European American, 24% were Hispanic/Latino, 29% reported other ethnicities) and socioeconomic backgrounds. Mothers reported on children’s sleep/wake problems (insufficient sleep duration, night wakings, daytime sleepiness) and their own harsh parenting behaviors. After controlling for several covariates, more maternal harsh parenting was related to greater daytime sleepiness among children. Associations between maternal harsh parenting and insufficient sleep duration and night wakings were significant for children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Results add to the growing literature that has considered children’s sleep in the family context and highlight the importance of contemporaneous considerations of the parenting and socioeconomic contexts.
