Program description

SSIS Social Emotional Health Edition Classwide Intervention Program (SSIS), offered by SAIL CoLab, provides a lesson-based approach to SEL and offers programming for grades 1-12. A CASEL-approved evaluation demonstrates effectiveness for grade 2. SSIS stresses explicit skill acquisition and uses role plays to support applications to common social situations in school, homes, and community settings.

Strategies supporting educational equity

SSIS features strategies for customizing for context. This involves working with facilitators to be responsive to student’s lives through adjustments to role play situations and general discussions.

Evidence of effectiveness

Results from a randomized controlled trial (published in 2015) supported the effectiveness of SSIS for public school students. This evaluation included 432 students in grade 2 attending urban and rural schools in the U.S. Northeast region (66.67% (Treatment) and 79.41% (Control) white, 21.59% (Treatment) and 14.22% (Control) Black/African American). The study found that students who participated in the program had significantly higher social skills and significantly lower internalizing difficulties compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported 16 weeks after baseline) while controlling for outcome pretest.
