It shows how family, school and the community can help foster these skills through social and emotional learning. It also argues the challenges of reliably measuring these skills, which limits the evidence-base on ‘what works’ to enhance social and emotional skills as well as the information education stakeholders can obtain on the distribution and development of social and emotional skills for each student or at the aggregate level.
