Social and Emotional Health

The statistics below demonstrate that explicit social emotional skill instruction supports student engagement, sense of belonging, and ultimately, academic achievement in school.  There is broad consensus among teachers, administrators and parents that social emotional skills should be taught in the classroom. In response (and to varying degrees of success) countless schools have advanced social emotional programs on their campuses.

So why have so many of these schools failed to see the promised results? In part, focus has been on adopting a program rather than attending to the quality of implementation. Changing Students' Odds for Success understands the importance of equipping teachers to integrate academic rigor and social emotional skills. We offer two services that ensure implementation success:

• New Teacher Induction: Building skills at the beginning of the teaching career that help novice teachers create effective learning environments by leveraging social emotional skills. 
• In-Classroom Coaching: Professional and personalized coaching that supports teachers with practical tools to foster social emotional skills and dynamic learning in their classrooms.
