Research Summary

The publisher reports that this professional development course is based on existing research surrounding student-educator relationships and positive school climate on student SEL. While the program is research-based, there are no peer-reviewed studies analyzing the effects of the course, and therefore has insufficient evidence to support it's efficacy at this time. See the White Paper for more information on the research that informed the development of the course: https://www.mawilearning.com/sites/default/files/resources/PowerfulEducatorWhitePaperFinal.pdf
