Measurable Improvements in Students’ Self-Efficacy, Resilience, and Attendance

Longitudinal studies in diverse global contexts demonstrate that structured programs targeting the skills that the ELAvate curriculum focuses on can lead to measurable improvements in students’ self-efficacy, resilience, school attendance, and educational aspirations over both short- and long-term periods.

These effects are particularly notable among adolescents and in underserved populations.

And, classrooms using ELAvate are also experiencing one-third the number of office referrals.

The growing body of evidence for the benefits of such supplementary curriculums aligns with outcomes from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning’s (CASEL) Collaborative District Initiative. Their findings revealed increases in academic performance—including GPA and standardized test scores—as well as improved attendance, improved graduation rates, and reductions in suspensions and expulsions (Tagat et al., 2025).
