Our flexible, expert-led training options strengthen educator buy-in right from the start.
Wayfinder Strengthens Your District In Key Areas
Founded at the Stanford d.school, Wayfinder was built upon leading research showing that students who experience belonging and purpose are better able to thrive in and out of school. Our full K-12 program delivers all the tools you need to easily integrate lifelong skill sets in the classroom while positively impacting areas that matter.
Climate
Wayfinder’s curriculum has been proven to increase students sense of belonging. Students feeling like they belong supports engagement and positive peer-to-peer relationships, as well as contribute to school connectedness, which reduces the need for behavioral interventions.
Academics
On average, SEL programming results in an 11-percentile-point gain in academic achievement. In addition, students that experience belonging and purpose have improved academic self-efficacy and self-regulation.
Life Readiness
The way to set our young people up for success is to teach them durable, future-ready skills. Wayfinder’s research-backed Core Skills go beyond typical SEL competencies to incorporate meaning-making, critical thinking, and future-ready skills in order to connect classroom learning to the real world.
If you’re looking for the right SEL solution to bring to your district, we’d love to walk you through your unique options.
