This brief provides education administrators and partners (providers, intermediaries, funders) with strategies and examples from seven school districts nationwide that have successfully funded, implemented, and sustained evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) programs. School administrators from these districts were interviewed and shared background information on their efforts to fund and implement evidence-based programs that address SEL. Based on these real-world experiences, seven chapters present: (1) Introduction; (2) What are Evidence-Based Programs and Why Focus on Funding Them; (3) What Kinds of Evidence-Based Social and Emotional Learning Programs are Most Relevant to the Education Field?; (4) Understanding the Costs of Evidence-Based Programs; (5) Funding and Policy Landscape for Evidence-Based SEL Programs; (6) Strategies for Funding and Sustaining Evidence-Based SEL Programs; and (7) Conclusion. [Individual profiles of each school district are appended: (1) Charlottesville City Schools (Virginia); (2) Chicago Public Schools; (3) Cleveland Metropolitan School District; (4) Ferguson-Florissant School District (Missouri); (5) Minneapolis Public Schools; (6) Providence Public School District (Rhode Island); and (7) Tooele County School District (Utah).]
