Abstract	Data collected from 97 educators provide preliminary support for the psychometric integrity of an experimental self-report instrument designed to operationalize emotional intelligence (EI) specifically for educators, the Scale of Emotional Functioning: Educators, or SEF:ED. Data analyses relied in part on results from an exploratory factor analysis, which provided evidence for a three-factor solution, and additional correlational analyses (e.g., item-scale correlations). Reliability estimates (i.e., split-half reliability correlations) for the SEF:ED Emotional Awareness, Emotional Management, and Interpersonal Relations subscales are 0.86, 0.80, and 0.71, respectively. Correlation coefficients (i.e., Pearson r) between the SEF:ED composites and the Profile of Emotional Competence composites (PEC) range from 0.35 to 0.72, providing evidence for concurrent validity of the SEF:ED. Finally, correlation coefficients between SEF:ED and the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Educators (MBI-ES) range from -0.21 to 0.59 and provide limited evidence of its ability to predict an important work site characteristic, that is, burnout. Once the SEF:ED was completed, descriptive statistics were obtained for EI and burnout and show relatively similar means/standard deviations across various demographics (e.g., gender, educator degree, years in service, and classroom setting--general vs. special education). Limitations of the study and implications for application of the SEF:ED are discussed. (As Provided).
