Contemporary Approaches to Evaluating Universal School-Based Social Emotional Learning Programs: Effectiveness for Whom and How?

Sun, April 14, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin 10

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

There has unequivocally never been more attention, investments, and criticism of Universal School-Based (USB) social and emotional (SEL) programs. Addressing these outstanding and urgent needs requires comprehensive and inclusive evaluations of USB SEL that attend to learner, school, and program variability in context. The evolution of evidence-based practice in USB SEL to examine for whom and under what circumstances USB SEL is effective is critically important. The present session brings together four papers at the intersection of Universal School-Based (USB) social and emotional (SEL) program evidence synthesis, efficacy, and equity to address these urgent needs and advance the field’s conceptualization of what we know and need to know about USB SEL.
