Compelling research demonstrates what parents have always known—the success of young people in school and beyond is inextricably linked to healthy social and emotional development.
Abstract: These consensus statements of evidence are part of a series of reports that are being issued by various councils and panels that have been convened to inform the work of the National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development. The official research, practice, and policy recommendations of the National Commission itself, which will be released later this year, will incorporate a wide range of feedback and information, drawn from these reports, site visits by the National Commission, feedback from partner organizations, and many other sources.
