Pottstown School District Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Evaluation

This is a longitudinal mixed methods evaluation of a K-12 social and emotional learning (SEL) program implemented in the Pottstown School District. SEL implementation is part of the multi- year initiative known as PEAK (Pottstown Early Action for Kindergarten Readiness), funded by the Kellogg Foundation, that builds on PEAK to promote child and youth development and enhance school success. This evaluation is also aligned with the objectives of the Pottstown Trauma-Informed Community Connection (PTICC), a regional coalition of early childhood educators, parents, school administrators and teachers, social and community service providers, healthcare organizations, law enforcement, and civic and religious organizations to build a trauma-informed community that promotes resilience.
