Klint Kanopka; Susana Claro; Susanna Loeb; Martin West; Hans Fricke – AERA Open, 2024
Prior work has shown that students' self-reported levels on social-emotional measures predict achievement levels and gains, but we have little evidence on whether within-student changes in self-reports on social-emotional surveys are predictive of changes in theoretically related academic and behavioral outcomes. We use large-scale data from the…

Podgursky, Michael; Aud Pendergrass, Susan; Hesla, Kevin – Education Next, 2018
