Session Summary

47.090 - Social-Emotional Learning Measurement and Continuous Improvement: Lessons From the CORE Districts

Sun, April 7, 11:50am to 1:20pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 200 Level, Room 206C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this symposium, we bring together a diverse set of papers from researchers across institutions and specializations to better understand how surveys of social-emotional learning (SEL) and school culture/climate (CC) can be used to drive educational improvement. Using data from nearly 500,000 students from the CORE districts in California, the researchers in this symposium: 1) assess the stability of school-level SEL growth estimates across multiple years; 2) explore whether we can attribute student growth in SEL to individual teachers; 3) examine how differential target setting for non-academic indicators in school quality systems affects school performance on those indicators; and 4) share findings from a large-scale pilot study on how to best elicit growth mindset with student self-reports.
