Hi everyone, I'm a UCL MA student looking for 2-3 early years teachers for a short online interview (about 1 hour). The study is in the area of social-emotional education, specifically looking at how teachers support children in resolving peer conflicts. The interview is anonymous and voluntary. If you're interested, or if you'd like to see the interview questions first, feel free to message me. I'll then send you more details. Thanks for considering!
