What’s inside the Tools of the Heart course
Four mini-courses cover foundational communication and problem-solving skills using interactive videos, writing prompts, stories and fun activities.
Tools of the Heart has been designed by Social Emotional Learning experts to help young people identify, manage and express their feelings and needs. They develop and practice skills that help them to form healthy relationships that will last throughout their lives. The course is differentiated by grade- level to track with cognitive and emotional development so it can be repeated each year as students move on to unlock a new grade’s version of the course.
All of our digital courses teach Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies that align with guidelines set by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). Students gain skills that help them become more emotionally resilient, empathetic, and ready to learn. With our additional special emphasis on equity, belonging, and restorative justice, students acquire a deep sense of connection and empowerment.
We use mindfulness and embodiment techniques, social engagement exercises, art, and restorative practices to teach kids how to recognize, manage, and express their feelings and needs in healthy ways.
Tools of the Heart is also available in Spanish.
