Researching Social Emotional Learning with Dr. Hamilton-Simmons from Counseling and Student Services

In this special episode of Data Lit, we are joined by our very own Dr. Tambryme Hamilton-Simmons (Counseling & Student Services Department) as she shares her research on the effects of social-emotional learning practices on student behavior. One unexpected outcome experienced during her research was the impact of the pandemic on her sample size. Since disruptions can and do play a role when conducting research, you will also hear from Dr. Meghan Scrimgeour on our Program Accountability team to learn strategies and ideas to consider to help minimize any “left-turns” that might occur.
