The authors propose a model of the prosocial classroom that highlights the importance of teachers' social and emotional competence (SEC) and well-being in the development and maintenance of supportive teacher–student relationships, effective classroom management, and successful social and emotional learning program implementation. This model proposes that these factors contribute to creating a classroom climate that is more conducive to learning and that promotes positive developmental outcomes among students. 1, record 1, English, - prosocial%20classroom

Le modèle de la classe prosociale. Les compétences sociales et émotionnelles aideraient non seulement l'enseignante ou l'enseignant à faire face au stress, à gérer la violence et les comportements perturbateurs des élèves et à entretenir de meilleures relations avec les parents, mais aussi à implanter de manière adéquate les programmes de développement de ces compétences chez les élèves [...] 1, record 1, French, - classe%20prosociale

Le modèle de la classe prosociale développé par Jennings et Greenberg (2009) illustre plus précisément les multiples liens entre le bien-être et les compétences sociales et émotionnelles du personnel enseignant, et les relations que ce dernier entretient avec les élèves, la gestion de classe de même que la mise en œuvre efficace de l'apprentissage social et émotionnel chez les jeunes. 1, record 1, French, - classe%20prosociale

Furthermore, these pro-social associations, in addition to influencing the "route" the young person takes, are also a source of learning. The associations teach individuals the "tricks of the trade" whether they be pro-social, for example how to study effectively. On the other hand, a young person who is surrounded by family members already well ensconced in a gang lifestyle, surrounded by poverty and unemployment, associating with friends who skip school and instead make money by drug running, is more likely to follow the illegitimate/criminal route characterizing the lifestyle of his or her close associates. 1, record 2, English, - pro%2Dsocial

De plus, ces associations prosociales, en plus d'influer sur le parcours que choisit le jeune, sont aussi source d'apprentissage. Grâce à ces associations, la personne apprend certains comportements au plan prosocial, notamment comment étudier efficacement. D'un autre côté, un jeune entouré de membres de la famille ayant un mode de vie de gang, subissant pauvreté et chômage, et s'associant à des amis qui manquent des cours et qui gagnent de l'argent en livrant de la drogue, sera plus porté à commettre des gestes illégitimes/criminels qui caractérisent le style de vie de ses proches. 1, record 2, French, - prosocial
