A new analysis of more than 200 school-based social and emotional learning programs has found that such programs improve students' attitudes and behaviors, and in some cases, even boost academic performance. This is the first large-scale meta-analysis of such programs. The findings highlight the value of incorporating well-designed and carefully conducted social and emotional learning programs into standard educational practice.
