Abstract

The Choose Love Enrichment Program (CLEP) is a social and emotional learning program that is designed to teach and promote the development of character values such as courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion. This program has been integrated into schools with the aim of improving school environments. For the present study, the CLEP was implemented with students, grades 4 through 12, across a number of school districts in East Texas. Parents completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, a 25-item informant report assessing various components of their child's behavior, both before and after their child participated in the CLEP. Paired t-tests were used to examine differences between pre- and post-scores. Parents reported a significant increase in overall prosocial behavior in their children after completion of the curriculum. This suggests that parents noticed a positive change in their children, and that this program may promote prosocial behavior among school children in East Texas.
