Dr. Sara Rimm-Kaufman, Ph.D., is the Commonwealth Professor at the School of Education and Human Development at University of Virginia. She and her team conduct research on schools with the goal of using evidence to improve the quality and equity of learning experiences. The research considers the diversity present in schools, respects the challenges that educators face every day, and recognizes the complexity of school improvement. Dr. Rimm-Kaufman has studied a range of programs that are widely used in schools (e.g., Connect Science, EL Education, Leading Together, Responsive Classroom, RULER, Valor Collegiate & Compass). She has authored more than 100 chapters, articles, and blogs. Yet, she wrestles with the reality that researchers have knowledge about SEL that has not been made accessible to educators. This concern led her to write, SEL from the Start, for elementary school teachers, as well as co-edit Social and Emotional Learning in Action: Creating Systemic Change in Schools.
