A new digital hub launched today by a research team at the Harvard Graduate School of Education seeks to provide clarity and practical tools to decision-makers working to address their schools’ and districts’ particular needs. Explore SEL, the hub created by Professor Stephanie Jones and her colleagues at the EASEL Lab, is an interactive resource built to empower stakeholders by letting them navigate SEL frameworks with greater precision and transparency, helping to smooth the transition from research to practice. The site builds upon the lab’s prior work on projects designed to provide clear, detailed information for key stakeholders about SEL programs and executive function and self-regulation measures.
