The Benefits of a Holistic Approach
Our family of programs provides everything you need to make SEL a consistent, supportive part of your students’ lives. Decades of research show the positive effects of classroom-based SEL programs for children, and there’s also broad recognition that benefits are even greater when children experience SEL throughout their day. When implemented holistically, SEL can help you build a stronger school community and support inclusive, equitable learning.
