The research brief's own description states its motivating question: "are they stable over time?" and says the study explores the question and its implications for teachers and schools. No findings, sample, or statistics are printed on the page.

"Social-emotional learning competencies are important for student success, but are they stable over time? This study explores this question and the implications for teachers and schools."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Whether students' SEL skills are stable over time, and whether initial level or change better flags later academic risk, was largely unknown before this study — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Little is known about how much variance in SEL constructs is stable over time versus specific to a given time or context — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The rank ordering of math and reading skills is highly stable over time, while four SEL domains are more strongly influenced by contextual factors — related
• SEL can be improved by both short-term targeted interventions and longer-term strategies to improve school contextual factors — related
• Teachers used Forms to support social-emotional learning through daily well-being check-ins and anonymous voice — related
