SPARK Pre-Teen (10-13) Curriculum & Online Membership

See full details & inclusions below.

This social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum consists of 12 lessons designed to be taught over a 12-week period. Lessons 1-10 explore the human ‘operating system’ to understand how the mind creates experience. With this understanding as the basis for every lesson, students explore relevant topics such as self-confidence, stress and anxiety, and appreciating diversity.

The lessons are taught in sequence to allow content to build every week, and optional content-specific modules such as navigating healthy relationships and building leadership skills can be added after the 10th lesson if desired.  All lessons give students the opportunity to experiment, create, and express their own unique insights gained from the activities.

We are proud that our rigorous research and positive outcomes resulted in being published in Psychology in Schools. We want all kids to experience the following:

• 85% experienced increased mental well-being and understanding of how the mind works
• 69% reported less difficulty in emotional regulation (better impulse control)
• 78% experienced better communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
• 78% demonstrated increased resilience in terms of bounce back from tough circumstances, and 
• 78% reported increased compassion for others experiencing tough circumstances.
