How Can States and Districts Support Social and Emotional Learning for Continuous School Improvement Under the Every Student Succeeds Act?
July 18, 2017, 11:15 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET
SVC 215 – U.S. Senate Capitol Visitor Center
Honorary Co-Hosts: Senator Chris Murphy (CT) and Rep. Tim Ryan (OH-13)
Hosted by the Learning Policy Institute
Under the Every Student Succeeds Act, states and districts have an opportunity to broaden their definitions of student success to include students’ social and emotional learning (SEL)—the foundation for academic and life success. Well-implemented programs
designed to foster SEL are associated with positive outcomes, ranging from better test scores and higher graduation rates to improved social behavior. SEL competencies include such skills as the ability to collaborate or make responsible decisions; mindsets,
such as thinking positively about how to handle challenges; and effective habits, such as coming to class prepared.
During this briefing panelists will share findings from the report Encouraging Social and Emotional Learning in the Context of New Accountability and
discuss:
- How and why does students’ SEL affect college and career readiness?
- What is the role of a positive and inclusive school climate in fostering students’ SEL?
- How can SEL and school climate be measured and what are appropriate uses of these measures?
- How can states and districts support SEL in systems of continuous improvement and where is it already happening?
