As teacher wellbeing has decreased globally, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, research into teachers’ emotions has increased. Much of the research on teachers' emotions so far, however, has been largely descriptive and less systematic than the study of students’ emotions. This is a problem because teachers play a decisive role in shaping future generations worldwide and solid scientific insight into their emotions and related functioning is of high global importance to teachers, students, and society. This project aims to expand the field of teacher emotions by determining “what it feels to feel” for teachers, worldwide. To gain a global understanding of teachers’ emotions, we use the "Many Labs" approach that sought to increase the robustness of psychological research by joining labs to collect international data. This grant is designed to support the formation of international partnerships and to pilot the research protocol that will ultimately allow us to explore how intensely and frequently teachers report to experience and express discrete emotions, how they regulate them, and how appropriate it is for them to experience and express them in the classroom.
