The Perry Preschool Project and High Scope: https://highscope.org/perry-preschool-project/

CASEL cited that High Scope had evaluation outcomes of improved academic performance, increased positive social behavior, reduced conduct problems, and reduced emotional distress  http://casel.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2013-casel-guide-1.pdf

Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) Arda & Ocak, 2012-research shows large effects on classroom climate

Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) / Relationship Building / I Can Problem Solve Denham & Burton, 1996 –research shows positive effects on emotional regulation and motivation/initiative, as well as positive effects on intrapersonal skills

SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) The PATHS curriculum is one of only 12 SAMHSA Model Programs that have documented Academic Achievement outcomes and is one of only two programs designed for children ages 5- 12. PATHS also received a perfect score on its program materials and a near perfect score of 3.6 points out of 4 for dissemination in SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP). http://www.nrepp.samhsa.gov/ViewIntervention.aspx?id=20

Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) PATHS has been designated as a “CASEL Select” program because it provides outstanding coverage in five essential SEL skill areas (self-awareness, regulation of emotions, social awareness, good relationship skills, and responsible decision-making); has at least one well-designed evaluation study demonstrating its effectiveness; and offers professional development supports beyond the initial training. http://www.casel.org/home.php   http://casel.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2013-casel-guide-1.pdf
