A resolution expressing support for the designation of the week of March 2 through March 6, 2026, as "National Social and Emotional Learning Week" to recognize the critical role social and emotional learning plays in supporting the academic success and overall well-being of students, educators, and families.

The Senate would recognize the first week of March 2026 as National Social and Emotional Learning Week. The resolution cites research showing that social and emotional learning (SEL) programs improve academic performance, reduce behavioral problems, and deliver an $11 return for every $1 invested. It calls for greater SEL integration in schools, noting that students in SEL programs see an average 11-percentile gain in academic achievement. The resolution is non-binding but signals Senate support for funding and expanding these programs.
