摘要：Adolescence can be a particularly difficult time for
youth as they experience the physical, social, and
academic changes that accompany maturation. One
of the most critical challenges for schools is
teaching adolescent students positive social and
emotional skills, which are crucial for them to
succeed academically and emotionally. Strong Kids
is a social-emotional learning curriculum designed
to reduce students’ internalizing symptoms. Strong
Kids has shown promise in elementary schools; this
was the first study to evaluate the newly updated version of the program in a middle level school
setting. Two general education teachers
implemented the curriculum with eight students at
risk for emotional and behavioral disorders.
Researchers used a mixed methods design to
evaluate outcomes. Findings suggest that Strong
Kids was effective at improving students’ socialemotional
knowledge and internalizing symptoms;
however, there were no significant changes in their
externalizing symptoms.
