| Abstract: |
Caregivers play an important role in effective social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions for their children. The Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) states on the family partnerships page on its website, "When educators and families are partners in children's social and emotional development, the benefits go two ways: Teachers enrich their ability to support their students, and families gain an ally in supporting the social and emotional skill-building they already do with their children" (Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning, n.d.). Despite caregiver support for SEL and interest in a collaborative approach to SEL, less is known about how caregivers envision this partnership with schools and other organizations. In particular, it is important to learn which skills caregivers prioritize being taught, how they approach these skills, and what types of resources and support they want from schools and other external sources. This research can support effective partnerships with families to develop student SE skills. |
