How, and under what conditions, can schools and out-of-school time programs partner to effectively foster social emotional learning (SEL) in students?

In a new report, part of an ongoing, six-year initiative by The Wallace Foundation, researchers from the RAND Corporation share findings from dozens of sites across six large American communities, and offer research-backed lessons for implementing a successful SEL partnership.

The RAND Corporation’s Heather Schwartz joins CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss the report, and what her team has learned from one of most comprehensive SEL implementation studies ever performed.
