What a Yale-backed study reveals - and how schools can apply it
SEL Improves Academic Outcomes. Yale’s Research Proves It.
Educators see every day how student mindset impacts learning. Now, groundbreaking research from Yale University confirms it with data.
Students who participate in SEL programs achieve measurably stronger academic outcomes, including higher grades and test scores.
SEL isn’t separate from academic success. It makes academic success possible.
When students develop emotional regulation, resilience, and confidence, they are better able to focus, persist through challenges, and fully engage in learning.
