Abstract: As researchers and school leaders increasingly recognize the importance of teachers’ emotions for teachers and students, researchers must document teachers’ affective experiences using ecologically valid methodologies. In this study, we use experience sampling and MLM to explore the momentary emotions of 238 teachers in two suburban districts in the Northeast United States. Using 1443 momentary affective reports, we report emerging affective patterns, including the types of emotions teachers experienced most frequently and intensely, and variance in momentary affective experiences, within and across teachers. We describe how professional role, activity, and appraisals relate to teachers’ momentary affective experiences, and conclude with a discussion of implications for MLM in future research and practice.
