Social and Emotional Learning Interventions Under the Every Student Succeeds ACT

This report reviews recent evidence on U.S.-based social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions for K-12 students to better inform the use of these interventions under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The authors discuss the opportunities for supporting SEL under ESSA, the standards of evidence under ESSA, and SEL interventions that meet the standards of evidence and might be eligible for federal funds through ESSA.
