Enjoyable experiences can help students re-engage with learning now
High 5 Adventure Learning Center, the internationally recognized educational nonprofit, is helping educators and youth leaders manage the impact of the pandemic with Rebuilding After COVID, an online, self-guided social-emotional learning (SEL) training with tools and skills to help students re-engage in learning and support their mental and physical health.
Learn how to recognize and address COVID-related stresses with a proven activity-based program, including options for social distancing, hybrid, or remote settings. Educators and program leaders can support upper elementary, middle school, and high students with activities that fit easily into curriculum, advising, or community-building time:
Teachers using Rebuilding After COVID say it helps students
- Be more attentive, engaged, and creative
- Have open, honest conversations about difficult emotions
- Support their classmates
- Demonstrate leadership
Rebuilding After COVID is informed by studies of how we recover from trauma and draws on the High 5 team’s 35 years of research-based practice in experiential social-emotional learning, a method that uses play as the pathway for building relationships, increasing emotional awareness, and teaching creative problem solving. Rebuilding After COVID is aligned with the Collaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework and complements other SEL curricula.
