From survey to stories to social-emotional success—here’s how we make it easy and effective.
STEP 1
Take the SEL Survey
What happens
– Parent, teacher, or caregiver completes a short SEL questionnaire (Likert-scale).
– The survey assesses the child’s strengths and challenges across 5 SEL competencies.
Why this matters:
– This step provides a baseline understanding of the child’s social-emotional needs.
– It ensures the content is personalized and relevant to the student’s current development stage.
STEP 2
Get Personalized SEL Focus
What happens:
– The app calculates scores per competency.
– A visual bar chart shows which areas are strengths and which need support.
– The app recommends which competency to focus on first .
Why this matters:
– Parents & teachers get clarity on where the child needs support.
– The app avoids generic content and focuses efforts where they’ll be most effective.
STEP 3
Choose a Book
What happens:
– Based on the selected SEL focus, the app suggests 3 curated storybooks.
– The child (or parent) selects the book that resonates most.
– The app recommends which competency to focus on first.
Why this matters:
– Choice empowers the child and boosts engagement.
– Stories create a safe space for learning emotional skills indirectly.
STEP 4
Access Curated Worksheets
What happens:
– User selects how they’d like to engage with the SEL worksheet:
– Multiple choice
– Short answer reflections
– Long-form journaling
– Drawing/illustrations
Why this matters:
– Adapts to the child’s learning style and comfort level.
– Keeps the experience flexible and user-centered.
STEP 5
Track Progress & Feedback
What happens:
– The app delivers a customized worksheet based on:
– The chosen book
– The selected SEL focus
– The preferred format
Why this matters:
– Reinforces SEL concepts in a practical, personalized way.
– Supports a variety of learning modalities for better retention.
STEP 6
Submit Worksheet for Feedback
What happens:
– Once completed, the worksheet is submitted back through the app.
– The team provides individualized feedback on responses (up to 3 feedbacks per month).
– Child’s learning goals are adjusted based on progress.
Why this matters:
– Feedback helps guide the child’s growth.
– Ensures the learning plan is dynamic and evolves with the child’s development.
– Keeps parents and teachers in the loop with expert recommendations.
