Strengthening teachers’ socio-emotional skills in a collaborative way at the national college of villa Alemana

Abstract

This project is being developed at the Santa Ana campus of the National School in Villa Alemana and aims to design a proposal for improving pedagogical management to strengthen the socio-emotional competencies of secondary school teachers
through collaborative and interdisciplinary work.

This stems from evidence gathered through institutional assessments, SIMCE and DIA results, which reveal deficient socioemotional management among students, a lack of training tools for the teaching staff, unfamiliarity with institutional instruments, and the absence of standardized protocols. The mixed-methods approach begins with a participatory assessment, followed by the identification of theoretical frameworks, and the design of a teacher development plan.As a response, an improvement plan is proposed that includes: an evaluation of available pedagogical and human resources, systematic training for all teachers, the creation of a cross-cutting and interdisciplinary instrument, and an impact evaluation strategy.

The main conceptual finding indicates that strengthening teachers’ socio-emotional skills has a positive impact on students’ holistic development, consolidating a collaborative and inclusive institutional culture. This is supported by current legislation on continuous and systematic professional development for teachers.
