The Social Institute releases enhanced, interactive curriculum for K-12 modern life skills development
AUGUST 9, 2021: Durham, N.C. – The Social Institute today announced it is releasing an enhanced version of its #WinAtSocial Platform to enable educators to easily integrate modern life skills into the classroom and to engage 100% of students with an interactive technology experience that enables positive, meaningful conversation and high-character decisions.
After a year of gathering input from students and educators around the country, this latest set of #WinAtSocial enhancements focuses on high school students – to strengthen student resilience, soft skills, and emotional intelligence to prepare for complex challenges including college admissions, balancing technology, and future employment. Interactive lessons and platform features emphasize student engagement, while easier lesson selection and 30-minute onboarding allow educators to get started and help students quickly.
Highlights include:
- Enhanced modern life skill lessons for high school students
- New, interactive lesson formats like debates that encourage students to understand varying perspectives
- Data benchmarks and insights into students’ well-being and behavior to help inform school decisions and provide a school culture check
- Expanded, engaging professional development content for teachers
- New lesson filtering that easily identifies lessons by key themes that is also mobile-friendly
Educators can be the first to see the product update as it’s revealed during TSI’s upcoming #WinAtSocialSummit: Empowering Educators in Student Well-Being, Social Media, and Technology, which will be held on August 18-19, 2021.
