Summary

This paper presents the PRICES framework as a comprehensive approach to implementing social and emotional learning (SEL) programmes within educational systems to promote mental health and wellbeing. The framework comprises seven components designed to foster holistic development alongside academic achievement, with emphasis on whole-school approaches and evidence-based interventions. The work argues that schools are pivotal in shaping student wellbeing across multiple developmental dimensions and that prioritising community, educator support, and student voice contributes to thriving educational environments.

UK applicability

The PRICES framework and SEL integration principles are potentially applicable to UK secondary and primary educational settings, particularly given existing UK policy interest in mental health promotion in schools. However, the abstract does not specify the geographic context of the study, so UK-specific evidence on implementation feasibility or policy alignment cannot be inferred.

Key measures

Framework components for SEL implementation; qualitative operationalisation through SEE Learning programme co-development

Outcomes reported

The paper presents the PRICES framework (Preparation and Access, Restoration, Integration, Connection and Community, Educator Support, Strengths-Based Cultivation and Student Voice) as a method for implementing social and emotional learning programmes in educational settings. It reports implementation examples through the Social, Emotional, and Ethical (SEE) Learning programme co-development process.
