emotional learning (SEL) profit in multiple ways. Compared to students who do not experience SEL
programming, they improve significantly with respect to:
1. Social and emotional skills
2. Attitudes about themselves, others, and school
3. Social and classroom behavior
4. Conduct problems such as classroom misbehavior and aggression
5. Emotional distress such as stress and depression
6. Achievement test scores and school grades, including an 11-percentile-point gain in academic
achievement

These positive results do not come at the expense of performance in core academic skills, but rather
enhance academic achievement. Moreover, the results are maintained among those studies that
collect follow-up data in each of the above categories.
