| Abstract: |
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is gaining prominence in efforts to meet the needs of all students. Little is known about the associations between SEL and important educational outcomes for students who receive special education services. This study explores these associations through a validity argument regarding the interpretation and use of SEL based on data from a large-scale survey. We find students who receive special education supports report lower levels of most SEL measures than those who do not; the trends observed across grade levels are similar. We find little evidence of significant differential prediction, yet SEL measures tend to be weaker predictors of educational behaviors and outcomes for students who receive special education services.
