Maggie's current qualitative research centers on what she calls \"hidden oases\" — music rooms, art classrooms, and specialist spaces — and builds on her published work integrating SEL into the formative development of educator dispositions.\nTogether, Seth and Maggie explore why SEL became politicized and why Maggie chose not to rebrand around the backlash, how critical thinking and perspective-taking sit alongside SEL as facets of the same whole-human education, the link between teacher emotion labor and the attrition crisis, and the role of arts and specialist classrooms as belonging infrastructure for students who don't feel at home in the rest of the building. Maggie shares an early finding from her in-progress study: many of the teachers she's interviewed told her no one had ever asked them about the students who came to school primarily because of their music or art class.\nKey topics\n\"Hidden oases\" — specialist classrooms as belonging infrastructure\nSEL across the full age span, including adult and doctoral learners\nTeacher emotion labor and the attrition crisis\nPerspective-taking and critical thinking as parts of SEL\nEducator dispositions and how they're formed\nStarting small with vetted SEL resources\nLinks & Resources\nDr. Maggie Broderick — National University faculty page: https://www.nu.edu/degrees/teacher-education/faculty/margaret-broderick/\nMaggie on ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Maggie-Broderick\nMaggie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maggie-broderick-19321414/\nInternational Journal of Online Graduate Education (Maggie, editor):...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/aX0c3Zcu_BWgnhhPpU7UI3YNLxRjFjQabj8M1H8irwE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZjhi/ZWY0ZTA5YTUxYjE1/YTlmY2NlYTQ3NDkz/ZDZlYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
