Research has shown that an SEL Toolkit has overwhelmingly demonstrated that social emotional learning and parent engagement in a child’s education and school community has a positive effect on students’ achievement. This positive relationship exists regardless of race, ethnicity, parents’ level of education, or socio-economic status.
Social emotional learning equips students with lifelong skills that carry on outside the classroom. Engaging families helps strengthen these skills and create opportunities for children to identify and express their emotions at home. Learn more about the benefits of parental involvement in education.
