Lebanon Year 1 Deidentified Data (2016-2017)

To generate the evidence needed to understand, improve and share what works to help refugee children learn and succeed in school, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and NYU Global TIES for Children (TIES/NYU) established a strategic partnership, the Evidence for Action: Education in Emergencies (3EA) initiative. In Lebanon, this program was designed and delivered to complement the Lebanese public education system and enhance learning and retention of Syrian refugee children through remedial tutoring programs infused with climate-targeted social-emotional learning (SEL) principles and practices (Tutoring in a Healing Classrooms - HCT) and skill-targeted SEL interventions (Mindfulness activities, Brain Games, 5-Component SEL Curriculum). An estimated 5000 Syrian refugee children enrolled in Lebanese public schools and teachers working with them participated in the program. These students attended 2.5-hour-long tutoring sessions per day, three times a week, with each session consisting of three lessons (Arabic, French/English, mathematics) and each lesson lasting between 30 to 40 minutes. A series of cluster randomized control trials over the course of two years were held to evaluate the effectiveness of the HCT and skill-targeted SEL programming. This dataset does not contain treatment indicators. Please contact the authors for access if interested in using those variables.
