The Usable Knowledge Project provides detailed and transparent information about commonly used and evidence-based SEL (social-emotional learning) programs.
Relevant research is the foundation for the topic “Navigating SEL for Teens.” A new guide is designed to help educators select the right social-emotional learning program for teen students’ needs:
- Select programs and strategies that best meet their individual needs.
- Guide planning on goal-setting conversations with school and district leaders, OST partners and other stakeholders.
and/or - Reevaluate the fit and effectiveness of SEL programs and structures already in use.
Support areas:
- How to use the Guide
- The importance of careful planning
- Key factors to consider when selecting a program
ReachOut’s whole school approach to student wellbeing provides engaging classroom activities, credible, flexible resources for teachers, and practical support for parents and carers.
Some of the topics are:
- Bullying
- Transition to Secondary School
- Friendships
- Mental Health
- Resilience
- Respectful Relationships
- Social Media
- Study Stress
Another great reference on a Harvard Ed Cast is “How to Support Your Child’s Digital Life.”
There is a 28 minute podcast and a transcript. The challenge of raising a child in the age of digital media is addressed.
