Sesame Street Building a Connected Community Evaluation
Sesame Street’s Building a Connected Community is an online professional learning course that helps preschool teachers build healthy relationships with children and families and support children’s social and emotional development. The Sesame Street resources focus on the following:
- Fostering a sense of belonging;
- Providing opportunities for children to build relationships;
- Extending children’s prosocial skills;
- Promoting collaborative problem solving in the classroom; and
- Helping children grow beyond the program.
AIR conducted an evaluation to examine the impact of the course on teachers, families, and children. Sesame will use the results of the evaluation to further improve the course.
The results of the evaluation were recently published in Social Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, Policy.
