National Grants

The RAND Corporation has published a research report called “Social Emotional Learning Interventions under the Every Student Succeeds Act.” Chapter Two of this research report focuses on how schools can use ESSA Funding to support work in SEL and School Culture and Climate. Federal funds under the following titles can be used to address SEL with both students and staff:

• Title I: Schools with large populations of low-income students can select interventions that target the social and emotional well-being of these students.
• Title II: These funds support the retention and professional development of teachers. Schools can implement programs that train teachers in delivering SEL, as well as support their own educators’ social-emotional health.
• Title IV: Funds programs that support safe and healthy students and a well-rounded education.
