Purpose

The Social and Behavioral Context for Academic Learning (Social/Behavioral) topic supports research on social skills, dispositions, and behaviors to improve student outcomes (e.g., grades, standardized test scores, attendance, high school graduation rates) in typically developing students from kindergarten through high school. The long-term outcome of this research will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., assessment tools and behavioral interventions) that have been documented to be effective for improving or assessing social skills, dispositions, and behaviors that support academic and other important school-related outcomes of students from kindergarten through high school.
