Prepare Students for Lifelong Success

    Personal and Academic Growth with SEL

    Learning is social and emotional. That’s why we take a whole-child approach to education, moving beyond a focus on academic achievement alone to incorporate life skills—building relationships, controlling emotions, making responsible decisions—that children must develop for long-term success.

    SEL Programs Get Results

    More than two decades of research shows that high-quality social and emotional learning programs pay off.

    • 11percentile-point gain.

      Students who participate in a K–12 SEL program score better on standardized achievement tests.

    • 18years worth of dividends.

      From six months to 18 years after SEL programs are completed, students can still derive benefits.

    • 11xreturn on investment.

      Studies show that spending $1 on SEL programs is equal to spending $11 on intervention.

    SEL Curriculum Made Easier

    No time to integrate a social and emotional learning curriculum across subject areas? No problem. SEL is infused throughout our evidence-based literacy, math, social studies, and science programs. It’s incorporated in whole-class and small-group instructional resources, collaborative and student-choice activities, and personalized feedback delivered by adaptive software.
