Evidence of effectiveness
Results from a randomized control trial conducted in the 2011-2012 school year (report written in 2013) support the effectiveness of Getting Along Together curriculum for elementary students. The evaluation included 4,410 kindergarten through grade 3 students enrolled in schools in the Southwest (Hispanic = 80%; students eligible for FRPL = 92%). This evaluation was found to be effective for kindergarten (n = 1,151) and grade 3 (n = 1,069) students, but did not find effects for grade 1 or grade 2 students. This evaluation found that kindergarten students who participated in the program improved in observer-reported attentive and impulsive behaviors compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 8 months after baseline while controlling for outcome pretest). However, this evaluation also found that kindergarten students who participated in the program performed worse on a test of working memory compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 8 months after baseline while controlling for outcome pretest). Additionally, this evaluation found that grade 3 students who participated in the program exhibited lower levels of hostile attribution bias assessed via vignettes compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 8 months after baseline while controlling for outcome pretest).

How does Getting Along Together support SEL implementation across multiple settings?
“Getting Along Together helps students build SEL skills and apply them in and out of the classroom. Students learn strategies to focus their thinking, manage their behavior, build positive social relationships, and cope with their feelings. The program contains strategies that support students in the classroom, schoolwide, at home and in the community.”
