Our Character Development and Leadership Curriculum<\/a> is a leading social-emotional learning curriculum (SEL) for middle and high schools.<\/strong> We focus on 18 character strengths<\/strong> to help students understand their strengths and limitations. To teach each trait, we utilize a consistent set of 14 lessons to offer differentiated instruction<\/strong> that helps each student reach their full potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is Social-Emotional Learning? <\/span><\/h2>

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is a Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum Important?<\/h4>\n

A 2011 analysis<\/a>\u00a0of more than 200 school-based programs involving more than 270,000 kindergarten through high school students found that students who took part in SEL curricula saw an 11 percent increase in academic achievement when compared to students who didn\u2019t participate. <\/strong>Contrasted with the control group who didn't participate in Social-Emotional Learning programs, SEL participants demonstrated significantly improved social and emotional skills, attitudes, behavior, and academic performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How Our Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum Works<\/h4>\n

To help instill these 18 character strengths, our program provides 12 different SEL lessons per unit (216 lessons total). The goal is to encourage students to develop cognitively, emotionally and behaviorally. <\/strong>Additionally, each of these lessons were created to align with the unique learning styles of all children. For example, each lesson focuses on a different learning style: small and large group discussion, lecture, reading, writing, video, verbal presentation, web, and behavioral.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(1) Definition\/Quote Exercise <\/strong>(writing, large group discussion-based learning) (cognitive development)<\/p>\n

(2) Ethical Dilemma<\/strong> (writing, large group discussion-based learning) (emotional development)<\/p>\n

\"\"(3) Topic Lecture<\/strong> (lecture-based learning) (cognitive development)<\/p>\n

(4) Character Movies<\/strong> (video-based learning) (emotional development)<\/p>\n

(5) Role models chapters from textbook<\/strong> (reading-based learning) (cognitive development)<\/p>\n

(6) Local Community Leader Presentations<\/strong> (lecture-based learning) (emotional development)<\/p>\n
