Research
CASEL is committed to conducting research to advance district-wide, evidence-based social and emotional learning. We are currently working with program providers, researchers, and other collaborators to build capacity for district-wide social and emotional learning (developing assessment tools, program selection tools, and professional development strategies). In addition, CASEL conducts research designed to understand state policies that encourage academic, social, and emotional learning.
