Over the past few years, there has been a high demand for students to engage in social-emotional and leadership development programs. Due to various changes in our society and in our culture, we are seeing that students are struggling in their social-emotional and leadership development.

According to CASEL, Students participating in SEL programs showed improved classroom behavior, an increased ability to manage stress and depression, and better attitudes about themselves, others, and school.

Solution

ELA's mission is to help young people develop their most valuable asset – themselves! Through a variety of hands-on, engaging activities our students take a “journey of self-discovery” and gain essential tools for success along the way.

“I liked the people that taught the program; they were very interactive and made sure that we were engaged in the conversation and that we were interested in what was going on. I think one skill I will put to the most use will be time (or self) management because being in high school definitely increases stress, so it is important to know how and when to spread your assignments out.”

The one tool that I have used is time management. I use it to manage time. I use it for homework, chores and schoolwork.

Business and industry is demanding that its workforce have these skills, but when and where do students learn them? ELA not only taught my students these success skills but truly developed them in these aspiring young professionals. My students are leaving the Effective Leadership Academy with a competitive advantage that applies throughout their future education and professional opportunities.

ELA is a thoughtful and energetic group. We have been so thrilled with the ELA programming that we have not only continued to bring them to campus, but we have expanded their role in working with our students on leadership development. ELA has created several unique and exceptional curricula for the many initiatives on which we have partnered. We look forward to continuing our relationship with ELA, so that our students will have the opportunity to learn from the best.
