Momentous Blast: SEL Has Long-Lasting Positive Effects, Study Says
Key Points:
· A new meta-analysis of SEL studies finds that children who have received SEL support show long-term improvement in academic performance, social skills, and avoidance of risky behaviors, among other factors.
· While it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact factor linked to these immediate and long-term preventative benefits for children, researchers believe universal SEL programs (e.g. given to all students versus targeted programming) are critical for positive outcomes for students.
· Social Emotional Learning programs create significant benefits for children of all studied demographic subgroups.
Why This Matters:
· It is often difficult for schools to see the long-term benefits of such SEL programming, but it meets an important need schools face as they take on the task of equitably teaching and supporting children and their families.
