The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to explore if and to what extent a correlation existed between the implementation of the Sown to Grow social and emotional learning curriculum, academic growth, and attendance. The study was grounded in the CASEL framework used by district leaders and curriculum designers to guide the development of social and emotional learning programs in schools. The research questions examined the correlation between implementation, academic growth, and attendance. The sample consisted of 117 K-12 schools from an urban school district in the South. Archival implementation, academic growth, and attendance data were provided by the district and analyzed using Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP). Statistical testing included Spearman's correlation to assess the relationship between each paired variable from the research questions. The results showed positive but weak correlations between implementation data, academic growth, and attendance. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA to assess the difference between variables in the research questions. The results showed that there was no difference in the levels of implementation, academic growth, and attendance. The findings of this study suggest that the level of implementation of Sown to Grow of schools in an urban school district is not significantly correlated to academic growth and attendance. The findings also suggest no difference in the levels of implementation for academic growth and attendance. While the findings related to academic growth and attendance were limited it did provide insight on the fact that other factors contribute to student outcomes. This foundational study paves the way for further investigation into the efficacy of school-based social and emotional programs and its relationship to student outcomes.
