A twelve-article series moving from a dissertation question to a formal research agenda — published in full here, with a companion conversation on LinkedIn. New articles every other week beginning August 18, 2026.
The through-line isn't "I created a proven solution." It's: schools value student social-emotional learning and relationships, but adults also need practical capacity-building and usable supports for real-time interactions. SSCC is an original synthesis proposed in response to that gap — and it must now be studied.
What finishing my dissertation left me still wondering about.
The gap between a shared belief and an everyday practice.
A portable adult interaction practice for everyday school moments.
Why the first move in a student interaction may be internal.
How adults can make more responsible decisions by noticing what they know and what they do not.
Why relationship-centered practice is not permissiveness.
Why the final moments of an interaction deserve as much attention as the beginning.
A universal adult practice that can support increasingly individualized interactions.
Why transparent evaluation matters when translating research into practice.
An invitation to study feasibility, implementation, adult capacity, and student experience.
Why a promising extension must be developed separately and carefully.
Why awareness, inspiration, and one-time training are not enough.
Each article publishes here first as the permanent, cited edition, followed by a LinkedIn adaptation within 24 hours. New installments post every other Tuesday.
