Friendships and close relationships within organisations and schools are integral for developing trust, engagement, and a sense of community. That said, few studies exclusively look at tie formation in friendship networks in K-12 contexts. In this study, we explore the relationship between Day and Gu's teacher life phases and the formation of friendship ties in four schools—two elementary and two high schools—in urban fringe and rural settings. Using exponential random graph models (ERGMs), we found that across contexts there were some life phases during which educators were more likely to form friendship ties with others in the same life phase. Also, there were notable differences in the factors that contributed to friendship ties and in the odds of friendship tie formation in the elementary versus high schools. The findings have implications for those interested in supporting professional capital-building among teachers as well as those looking to establish conditions necessary to nurture and sustain teacher resilience.
