The Impact of After School Programs That Promote Personal and Social Skills
The first of several reports to come from CASEL's major meta-analysis project conducted in collaboration with Joseph Durlak of Loyola University with funding from the W.T. Grant Foundation, this report describes the strong positive effects after-school programs can have, and the conditions needed to realize these benefits.
School Connectedness
Children don’t learn unless they believe that adults at school care about their learning and about them as individuals.
Social and Emotional Learning and Bullying Prevention
While bullying is a pervasive problem, schools can take specific steps to improve the school climate and encourage positive interactions designed to reduce or prevent bullying. Schools using a social and emotional learning (SEL) framework can foster an overall climate of inclusion, warmth, and respect, and promote the development of core
social and emotional skills among both students and staff.
