Social Skills Groups
for 21st Century Kids
Design a creative social learning program that's data driven and heart centered.
You wholeheartedly believe all children can and deserve to succeed.
But the skills to achieve success today have changed.
Teaching the "soft skills" is more important than ever in today's fast paced, dynamic and nuanced social environments.
But it's frustrating when our students don't transfer these social skills outside of the classroom. Especially after pouring so much time and energy into teaching them.
Our students all have differing abilities. It can be exhausting and time consuming trying to piecemeal a social learning curriculum together on the fly. How can we make sure that we are teaching the right social skills, in a way that kids will enjoy and retain when there is no one size fits all curriculum?

Social Skills for 21st Century Kids was made to help you create your own highly engaging, evidence based, social learning program that will teach your students the skills that most serve them in today's world.
The skills our kids most need to be happy, confident and valued community members are the ones that teach them to be adaptable, open minded and socially aware.
We know and love our students. We, as educators, see them socially interact across a variety of peers and contexts. That makes us uniquely suited to help them build a foundation of healthy social skills they will carry into their future.
