Read more about this tour in the Prevention Action newsletter and on the Social Research Unit web site. 2009 Zins Awards: CASEL is thrilled to announce that Dr. Marc Brackett and Jennifer Loudon are this years recipients of the 2009 Zins Awards for SEL Research and Practice. Marc's research program focuses on the measurement of emotion-related skills, links between emotion-related skills and important life outcomes for students and teachers, and testing how SEL training can improve the lives of students and educators. In the course of this work, he has designed, implemented, and evaluated several SEL curricula for teachers, school administrators, and students of different ages. He has also made significant original contributions to key measurement issues in the field of SEL. Jennifer has worked over a number of years across multiple units in the Chicago Public Schools to see that SEL is recognized and effectively implemented in the third largest school district in the country. Over the past three years, she has authored grants resulting in over $14.2 million to expand CPS efforts to implement and integrate universal SEL and coordinate it with more intensive services for higher-needs students. As of this year, approximately 80 schools are systematically implementing at least one district SEL strategy. 2009 Zins Award Flyer.
