Strong Kids Curricula
Teach social-emotional competence—the foundation of school and social success—with the NEW editions of the Strong Kids™ curricula! Strong Kids is the fun and easy way to help your students develop the social-emotional skills they need to manage their challenges and succeed in school and life.

How it Works
Through engaging, thought-provoking classroom activities, students explore their feelings and learn social-emotional skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives: managing anger, reducing stress, solving interpersonal problems, and much more. Each curriculum runs for 10-12 weeks, and lessons are easy to fit into your existing schedule (especially with the new options for breaking them into smaller chunks).Partially scripted lessons, handouts, and worksheets are included—all photocopiable and available as downloads—so teachers have everything they need to implement the program with little added cost or preparation.
“Very effective in targeting the development of emotional understanding and regulation.” —Margaret O’Hearn-Curran, Principal, Johnny Appleseed School; Adjunct Faculty, Fitchburg State College"
