a 10-week program that was delivered in 15 classrooms across the TCDSB and TDSB during the 2023-2024 school year. The project aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the program in classroom settings and understand its impact on students&#8217; social-emotional development. A total of 132 students, along with their parents\/caregivers and teachers, participated in the research by completing various measures before and after the program.<\/p><p>The research yielded positive results, indicating that the Feeling Explorers program was a valuable addition to the classrooms. Key findings include:<\/p><ul><li>Statistically significant improvements in several scales on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) survey, including emotional problems, hyperactivity, prosocial behaviours, total score, and impact score.<\/li><li>84% of parents\/caregivers found the program helpful in some capacity.<\/li><li>Significant improvements in scores on the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA) surveys for both the overall population of students and a smaller sample of high-risk students.<\/li><li>100% of teachers found the program helpful and reported using the strategies multiple times a week or more.<\/li><li>47% of parents\/caregivers reported improvements in their children&#8217;s difficulties following the program.<\/li><li>66% of students felt that people in their class knew them better, and 57% felt more accepted by their classmates.<\/li><li>69% of students felt more supported by their classmates, and 70% felt more understood by their teachers.<\/li><li>82% of students reported feeling like they could go to someone they trust in the classroom if they were feeling upset.<\/li><\/ul><p>Overall, students and teachers were happy to receive the program, enjoyed the learning experience, and continued using the tools and strategies provided inside and outside the classroom.<\/p><p>If you are interested in learning more about this
