Abstract
This study describes and provides preliminary support for the use of a culturally and linguistically adapted Strong Kids curriculum, delivered completely online, to address English language learners' (ELLs') social/emotional development. Quantitative data showed an increase in students' social/emotional knowledge in internalizing symptoms by the end of the program. Qualitative data highlighted ELL students' increased ability to identify and manage emotions, their application of social/emotional learning and mindfulness concepts in the virtual classroom, and the benefits of participating in the program virtually. We discuss the findings and implications for school counselors and other mental health providers in both school and community settings.
