Emboldening Student Agency and Growth
We know every student faces different challenges. With hundreds of succinct and powerful mini-lessons, StrongMinded SEL gives them the opportunity to explore and chart their personal journey through a wide variety of CASEL-aligned topics. To help share and track their learning, K-12 students can view and interact with an intuitive dashboard and progress meter.
Assessments to Monitor and
Encourage SEL Growth
StrongMinded includes a Social and Emotional Learning Self Inventory, based on the open resource survey assessment developed by the Washoe County School District, CASEL, and the University of Illinois-Chicago. The survey assessment helps K-12 students identify areas of strength and areas in which to grow their social emotional skills. Results are shared with students and their teachers for each CASEL competency. Teachers also see greater detail, with a view of subcategories within each CASEL competency. Both a short and long version of the survey are available for teachers to share with an individual, group, or entire class.
SEL for K-5 Students
Equip your K-5 students with the necessary tools to stay emotionally well, maintain positive identities, and build healthy relationships. Students can e hundreds of bite-sized, relatable lessons containing videos, interactives, and other activities that fit easily into ongoing classroom instruction. Teachers can also assign lessons to the whole class, small groups, or individuals.
Flexible Tools to Drive Personalization
Educators can personalize learning by sharing individual lessons or creating and sharing lesson playlists with individuals, to the whole class, or to specific student groups. To help address current challenges, our team has curated an activity playlist for educators to use or share with their K-12 students!
