This paper highlights the critical need for more evidence-based SEL (Social Emotional Learning) programs for middle school students, reviewing key SEL domains and the evolution of SEL in response to a changing world. It demonstrates the scarcity of programs meeting rigorous standards such as WWC, CASEL, and Blueprints, and notes that even proven programs often show limited effects across domains. The paper concludes by addressing the unique developmental needs of early adolescents and offering recommendations for refining SEL programs for this age group.
