Research question 2. What conditions facilitate interactions in the target language in MFL?

Research question 2. This research question sought to explore the impact of school climate on teacher experience of PTSD/trauma. School climate was assessed through the teachers’ perception of their current school environment. Educators were asked a series of questions that allowed them to express their perceptions of support. They were asked if they felt supported by their immediate supervisor, if their administration team clearly defined school and district policies and if they believed the average teacher income was adequate. Other questions were included, which asked about the working conditions at their school sites, about the recognition received from their immediate supervisor, and about their feelings of safety. There was a statistically significant correlation between school climate and teacher PTSD/trauma. The correlation coefficient indicated a moderate negative correlation between the two variables. This shows that teachers working at school sites with a negative school climate also had greater perceptions of having experienced PTSD/trauma. This finding supports the work of ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ (2007), who found that teachers lacked the ability to cope and perform when faced with toxic stress such as poor work conditions and minimal support or resources. Ongoing stress among teachers decreases productivity for students, teachers, and school communities, which leads to symptoms of ongoing trauma such as high levels of frustration, anxiety, dissociation, and, eventually burnout (American Psychological Association, 2019). The most common forms of primary and secondary trauma identified by teachers at school sites are listed in Figure 21.1. Forms of trauma experienced have been listed from those that occur most frequently to least frequently.

Research question 2. Do the items on the Student Performance Character and Student Moral Character scales fit the ▇▇▇▇▇ measurement model framework, and if so, how well is the fit? Student Performance Character item fit. All of the SPC items, using the Rating Scale model, show mean square error statistics (OUTFIT values) that fall within the acceptable, restrictive range of .6 to 1.40. The item with the highest logit score is GiveUp4Sch (I give up watching TV or hanging out with friends to study for a test or do an assignment for school) at
