Research on SEL Impact
Research on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) impact examines how teaching skills like self-awareness, empathy, and responsible decision-making can improve students’ overall well-being and academic success. Findings consistently show that implementing SEL programs leads to better classroom behavior, increased empathy, improved emotional regulation, and higher academic achievement. Students also develop stronger relationships and are better equipped to handle challenges outside school. Overall, SEL research demonstrates that fostering emotional and social skills is a valuable investment that supports healthier, more engaged learners and positive school environments.
