2023 Social and Emotional Learning Survey
In February/April 2023, a survey on socio-emotional learning was conducted among all current students of Still I Rise schools and three Italian secondary schools. Specifically, they were asked to respond to 18 questions on a scale from 1 to 5 to assess their socio-emotional growth in five areas:
- Responsible decision-making
- Self-awareness
- Social skills
- Social awareness
- Self-mastery
- 85% Nearly 85% of SIR students see school as relevant to their future life, compared to 25% of the Italian students we interviewed
- 80% Only 6% of Italian students feel a strong sense of belonging to their school, compared to almost 80% of SIR students.
- 29% Managing bad moods seems to be more achievable for SIR students (29%) than their Italian counterparts (8%)
The responses provide meaningful insights and a useful starting point for measuring and reflecting on the emotional growth of students in their lives and school context.
