This year, we\u2019re celebrating 30 years of social and emotional learning (SEL)! As we honor three decades of impactful SEL work in research, policy, and practice, we also look to what\u2019s new and what\u2019s next. USC senior and CASEL intern Kim Villard sat down with prominent researchers Drs. Christina Cipriano, Mark Greenberg, and Joseph Durlak to discuss their latest work and the future of SEL research.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a college senior preparing to enter the world of adulthood<\/a>, I think a lot about the skills my peers and I will need to navigate our careers and lives successfully. Academic knowledge is critical, but so are skills like empathy, curiosity, creativity, and decision-making. I started to wonder: How can school policies, practices, and curriculums help cultivate these holistic skills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This question led me to the research on SEL\u2014hundreds of studies spanning three decades. I started with the most recent, including 2023 reports from Drs. Christina Cipriano, Mark Greenberg, and Joseph Durlak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we head into the next three decades of SEL research (and beyond), I spoke with the three researchers about their SEL journeys, their most significant findings, and what researchers still need to know about SEL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into SEL research?<\/strong><\/h2>Back to top<\/a>\n\n\n\n
