SEL Tier 3_ A 6-Year Longitudinal Study Draft

This 6-year longitudinal study examines the growth and impact of our SEL Tier 3 counseling program using de-identified, aggregated internal data. Across six school years, I analyzed patterns in referrals, participation, presenting concerns, and outcomes to understand who we are serving, how needs are changing over time, and where our systems are working—or need to be strengthened. The study informs ongoing program design, resource allocation, and MTSS alignment, and is currently being developed into a formal paper for presentation and publication.
