Research Approach
This report provides tips and recommendations for incorporating high-quality SEL instruction and practices into OST programming for children and youth.
To develop these tips and recommendations, researchers drew on an extensive set of data. That included surveys, interviews, observations, and document reviews from more than 100 OST programs (primarily afterschool programs) across six communities—Boston, Dallas, Denver, Palm Beach County, Tacoma, and Tulsa—participating in The Wallace Foundation’s Partnerships for Social and Emotional Learning Initiative.
Researchers did not conduct analyses to examine the relationship between SEL implementation and changes in children’s SEL skills and academic achievement.
