Benenson Strategy Group conducted online interviews with 1200 parents of school aged children from April 15-23, 2022. Key findings were 1. Parents largely take the term “SEL” at face value and there aren’t negative top of mind associations with it. 2. There is strong and widespread support for teaching SEL- both among the 54% who say it’s already taught at their school and those who say it isn’t or are unsure. 3. Parents prioritize a range of skills that SEL support 4. And see how teaching SEL creates a positive classroom environment where kids learn the skills they need to succeed. 5. In head to head argumentations, parents overwhelmingly say schools have a role in teaching kid social and emotional skills and reject the idea that SEL is somehow taking the place of mental wellness supports like therapists and social workers.
