Teachers’ contributions to the school climate and using empathy at work: implications from qualitative research in two European countries

“…This is consistent with the conclusion of a recent systematic review that social relationships play a central role in predicting teachers’ well-being, which consequently influences their teaching quality ( Hascher and Waber, 2021 ). These results also support the research of Greenway (2017) , who shows that a well-maintained school environment improves students’ achievement on standardized tests and is linked to increased teacher commitment.…”

“…When students are excited at learning a new skill, they can experience negative emotions about mistakes and situations when they are misunderstood. Thus, operatively provided feedback from a teacher can foster positive emotions in the classroom and serve as a premise for motivation to learn ( Greenway, 2017 ). Lithuanian teachers also emphasized the role of fundamental values (respect, dignity, and kindness) and the importance of collaboration with colleagues by relating it to using empathy at work.…”

“…Implementing this whole-school consensus requires individual action, empowerment, awareness, and courage. Therefore, the individual contribution of the teacher to the development and improvement of a positive school climate, emphasized by Latvian teachers, remains relevant ( Greenway, 2017 ).…”

A review of additives in abrasive water jet machining and their performance

“…Polyethylene-oxide (PEO) is another polymer-additive, which shows shear-thinning behavior when involved large molecular weight, 80 whose potential to improve jet-stability in water-jet machining has been explored since 1970’s. R. Szymani 81,82 demonstrated the addition of small concentrations of PEO (Polyox-WSR- 301). It significantly improved cutting performance of a high-velocity water-jet in cutting corrugated-boards and wood.…”

How school counsellors cope with suicide attempts among adolescents — A qualitative study in Israel

“…The study also found that counsellors exposed to incidents of suicide had a lower sense of professional self-efficacy (Christianson & Everall, 2008; Lund et al, 2018). Carpenter (2018) pointed out that school counsellors who themselves experienced personal trauma and loss may be even more vulnerable when dealing with adolescents’ suicide attempts. Studies also found that counsellors lack professional training and need the support of a team of suicide prevention professionals (Christianson & Everall, 2008, 2009; Cureton, & Clemens, 2015; Robinson et al, 2013).…”
