This webinar provides important insights from a new RAND report, Early Lessons From Schools and Out-of-School Time Programs Implementing Social and Emotional Learning, that examines 38 sites in six communities during the first two years of the PSELI initiative.

Researchers from RAND focus on topics such as developing adults’ capacity to promote SEL; improving climate and delivering SEL instruction to students; executing system-level activities to launch and coordinate SEL work across multiple sites; and developing partnerships between schools and afterschool/out-of-school time programs.

Gigi Antoni, Director, Learning & Enrichment, The Wallace Foundation

Melissa Connerton, Senior Communications Officer, The Wallace Foundation (moderator)

Laura Hamilton, Adjunct Behavioral Scientist, RAND; General Manager of Research Centers, ETS
