    Lots of interesting research. Particularly found the concept of teaching young students science about how the brain works fascinating. I was also interested to hear about the Jan-July ‘dip’ and wonder if this is a particularly American thing or whether research shows this dip in more international settings.

    Comprehensive research-based info – happy we are moving toward promoting positive outcomes rather than preventing negative ones. Looks like SEL is positively impacting both academic and social growth. Thank you.
