With the increased pressure to meet annual academic progress goals under NCLB, how can schools find the time to implement SEL?
There is a growing research base indicating that SEL programming improves student achievement and behavior. Children’s emotions affect what and how they learn. Because SEL reduces distractions and barriers to learning, it results in fewer classroom disruptions. Instruction that does not explicitly address children’s social and emotional needs may produce short-term gains in test scores, but is unlikely to result in sustained gains. By improving children’s motivation to learn, time on task, and interpersonal skills, SEL is more likely to produce long-term improvements in their academic achievement.
