| Insights from an Innovative Research-Practice Partnership
For the last five years, the Research Alliance and the Student Success Network (SSN) have been engaged in a unique research-practice partnership aimed at measuring and supporting New York City students’ social-emotional learning. Through our work together, we have developed a robust set of SEL measurement tools, practices, and insights—which have been used by SSN’s network of nearly 80 nonprofits and schools to refine their program offerings. Our new report investigates a set of questions that emerged directly from our research-practice partnership, focused on the relationship between growth in SEL and academic gains:
- How, if at all, does students’ growth in SEL contribute to improved academic performance? Which SEL competencies contribute the most?
- To what extent does the relationship between SEL and academic growth differ by student subgroup? Is growth in SEL a stronger contributor to academic outcomes for middle or high school students? For 9th graders? For students with disabilities? Do students from more disadvantaged neighborhoods benefit more or less?
Read about our findings and important new questions they are raising in Social-Emotional Learning and Academic Growth.
