David Osher, Lawrence B. Friedman, and Kimberly T. Kendziora

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children learn the skills to handle themselves, their relationships, and their work effectively and ethically. This report presents findings about the implementation of the Collaborating Districts Initiative (CDI) as of the end of June 2014. The CDI is a complex eight-district demonstration project designed to learn about as well and show how and to what end school districts can make SEL an essential part of every student’s education.
