Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Influences on Learning
A successful learning environment supports students and educators as they navigate the social, emotional, and behavioral context of the school and classroom. From encouraging family engagement to setting clear expectations for behavior, educators take responsibility for a range of factors that influence student learning and motivation. IES initiatives gather data on school climate, evaluate behavioral interventions, and provide resources for promoting social and emotional well-being.
