You can also provide feedback on specific practices using the feedback button located on every practice page, or by submitting general comments through our contact form<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2017-2018, the elementary resource was examined in nine Ontario English public boards with 153 educators. The objective of the study was to determine whether the Everyday Mental Health Classroom Resource <\/em>improved educators\u2019: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the 12-week implementation of the Everyday Mental Health Classroom Resource<\/em>, significant improvements were demonstrated in all five areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More recently, a randomized control trial evaluation was conducted with the elementary Catholic version of this resource. It included over 200 teachers from 19 school boards and over 270 students from 11 schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Findings indicated that use of the resource is associated with positive changes for teachers (such as social-emotional learning knowledge and confidence, as well as teacher well-being), student social-emotional skill development, and the classroom climate. Also, using the practices frequently has demonstrated better outcomes for students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was also found that frequency of use matters. In fact, the more times a teacher implemented a practice, the better the outcomes were for students. Overall, the resource was well received by teachers and students, easily implemented in the classroom, and helped to support students\u2019 social-emotional learning skills as well as their general mental health and wellbeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the highlights from the field test summary. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This resource anchors its categories, themes and practices in the SEL program review conducted by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Provincial System Support Program.
