25.015 - Improving the Evaluation and Scalability of Social Psychological Interventions in Schools

Fri, April 28, 8:15 to 9:45am, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 208

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Educators need to address motivational, cognitive, and affective factors if their students are to engage with and apply what they learn in school. But intervening upon and measuring psychological factors can be time intensive and may not fit policy makers’ expectations about what is most urgently needed in school reform. Our panel will cover recent developments in the measurement, implementation, and institutional support for psychological interventions in school settings. We hope to offer promising research on intervention methods for supporting the psychological needs of students and foster a rich discussion on how to increase the uptake of these psychological interventions to benefit the largest number of students.
