Abstract

This chapter explores how to measure the impact of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs on student outcomes, with a particular focus on ensuring that SEL initiatives foster equity and support marginalized communities. Evaluating SEL programs goes beyond tracking student progress—it provides a framework for identifying systemic barriers and improving educational experiences for all learners. The chapter examines various qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, including surveys, behavioral observations, and academic performance data, to assess SEL's effectiveness. It also highlights tools for measuring student growth, the role of data-driven decision-making, and strategies for using SEL evaluation to promote positive academic and behavioral outcomes. The insights from this chapter will help educators and administrators refine their SEL programs, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of diverse student populations.
