Improving Conditions for Learning for Youth Who Are Neglected or Delinquent
Learning is not just a cognitive process; research shows that powerful social and emotional factors affect learning. By providing students with support that addresses their social and emotional needs and by building positive social and emotional conditions for learning, staff in facilities and schools can help improve learning outcomes that cannot be addressed through academic remediation alone.
