Research in support of Social Emotional Learning

Just did a really fun keynote for the American Camp Association this morning – and promised to post for them (and you) some of the best research in support of Social Emotional Learning:

1) This meta-analysis of 213 studies shows that SEL training has many benefits, including an 11% increase in student achievement.

2) This report from The University of Chicago highlights how non-cognitive training can drive student achievement.

3) This book by Dr. Martin Seligman shows how non-cognitive training increases confidence and resilience among students.

4) This book by Carol Dweck shows convincingly the power of a “growth” mindset.
