MORRISTOWN, N.J., Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- There are plenty of tools to help college students academically, but the reality is that 9 out 10 students who transfer or drop out of school do so for non-academic reasons. This week, Evolution Labs, a leader in student success and wellness programs, is proud to launch S360:SEL, a web and mobile tool that focuses on student social and emotional learning and character development.
Peter Kraft, CEO and co-founder of Evolution Labs, explains that by the time a college student's grades are failing the school has already missed the opportunity to address the underlying reasons for that student's perceived failure. "Academic monitoring and intervention is easy," says Kraft. "But many students arrive on campus unprepared to succeed socially and emotionally. Students need to be better equipped to handle the pressures of college life and then, for the school to bring value, life after college."
Enter S360:SEL, a toolkit designed to help students in all aspects of social and emotional learning. The program's professionally-developed library of lessons include topics such as:
- Recognizing emotions in self and others
- Regulating and managing strong emotions (positive and negative)
- Recognizing strengths and areas of need
- Listening and communicating accurately and clearly
- Respecting others and self and appreciating differences
"There is a data-backed correlation between a student's social and emotional wellness and their academic performance," says Kraft. "Through S360:SEL, students receive targeted lessons, delivered through web and mobile, throughout their college journey. The lessons learned through S360:SEL don't just improve higher ed outcomes -- they carry through to the workforce and beyond, teaching valuable lessons on how to take on the responsibilities of academics and eventually a successful career."
S360:SEL is a fresh approach to a problem that persists throughout higher education institutions across the country. Through research-backed methods designed to speak to college students on their level, S360:SEL can change outcomes for students and better prepare them for real life.
Also, P360:SEL delivers success and wellness tips and guidance to parents of college students. Oftentimes, parents are not well-enough equipped to support and guide their child toward the completion of their degree. Once again, social & emotional learning is the overwhelming factor in determining successful outcomes of their student.
