Description of Research Program
Through its Social and Behavioral Context for Academic Learning Research Program (Social/Behavioral), the Institute intends to support research on interventions designed to improve social skills and behaviors that support academic and other important school-related outcomes (e.g. attendance, high school graduation rates) in typically developing students from kindergarten through Grade 12. Under this research grant program, the Institute will fund research to (1) identify programs and practices that are associated with better social skills and behaviors that support academic learning, as well as mediators and moderators of the relations between these practices and student outcomes; (2) developing new programs and practices for improving social skills and behaviors that support academic learning; (3) evaluating fully developed programs and practices for improving social skills and behaviors that support academic learning through efficacy or replication trials; (4) evaluating the impact of programs and practices for improving social skills and behaviors that support academic learning that are implemented at scale; and (5) developing and validating measures of teacher classroom management practices and child behaviors that support learning in school.
The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g. assessment tools and behavioral interventions) that have been documented to be effective for improving social skills and behaviors that support academic and other important school-related outcomes of students from kindergarten through Grade 12.
