q2 · i? · review · r?

The page summarizes classroom-approach research on the Classrooms section, asserting that "social and emotional competence can be enhanced" via three approach types: explicit instruction, teaching practices, and SEL-academic curriculum integration. No specific studies or effect sizes are cited on the page.

"Research has shown that social and emotional competence can be enhanced using a variety of classroom-based approaches such as: (a) explicit instruction through which social and emotional skills and attitudes are taught and practiced in developmentally, contextually, and culturally responsive ways; (b) teaching practices such as cooperative learning and project-based learning; and (c) integration of SEL and academic curriculum"
