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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Results from this research project support the effectiveness and usefulness of the Faith and Wellness Resource for teachers and students in Catholic elementary schools across Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the Faith and Wellness 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 evaluation report<\/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. A summary of the literature related to social-emotional learning, and recent systematic reviews on this topic, also informs this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the review<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do programs led by teachers and offered to all students\u2019 in a classroom improve the social and emotional learning of students? <\/p>\n\n\n\nEvaluation of the elementary version of the resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
