Why promote social-emotional learning inside and outside the classroom?
- Participation in SEL programs raises standardized test scores by 11 percentile points – which is critical to funding.
- Kids with robust social-emotional skills are significantly more likely to remain enrolled in school, keeping your student base strong.
- SEL programs reduce rates of student mental health complications like anxiety and depression by 10%, reducing the risk of high-cost retaliatory action.
- Fewer and less severe disciplinary actions
Barriers Schools are Facing
- Budgetary constraints
- Staff/provider shortages across the board
- Lack of home-school connection
- Increased workloads due to student regression during COVID
- More students receiving special ed services since the pandemic
- Staff stress, health issues from the ongoing pandemic
- Cost of providing services increasing
curaJOY’s programs turn psychoeducational assessment, behavioral interventions, and social-emotional education into gamified and interactive digital experiences that help children acquire and develop the critical inner strength and sociocultural fluidity necessary to thrive — in school, throughout life, and around the world. We work not only with children, but parents and all family members to create the optimal at-home environments needed for your hard work, and student performance, to shine.
Originally funded by the US Dept of Education and National Science Foundation, curaJOY programs are proven effective for evaluating and improving children’s behaviors and emotional intelligence. No other program has undergone extensive efficacy studies like ours. We proactively and reliably identify areas where children need additional development and apply a personalized and effective curriculum paired with continuous evaluation as well as professional assessment reports.
