This article provides an overview of each of seven programs evaluated as part of the Social and Character Development Research Program (SACD), a federally-funded multiprogram evaluation project. It further examines the theoretical underpinnings, the teaching strategies employed, the content delivered, modifications made to the implementation or support strategy (where appropriate), and the evidence on which the programs are based. The programs reviewed include the Academic and Behavioral Competencies Model, the Competence Support Program, Love in a Big World, Positive Action, Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies, Reading Writing Respect and Resolution, and Second Step.
