Check-In, Reflect, Connect

Daily rhythm. Lasting culture.

$2,400 / year per school

SEL with the body and community put back in. A relational, somatic, culturally responsive SEL curriculum for grades 5–12 and the adults who support them.

What learning environments are carrying

Students are carrying mental health challenges.
Adults are stressed out from overwhelm and lack of support.

SEL programs often arrive as one more worksheet, one more lesson to squeeze in, one more system to manage.

Young people and adults need places where they can notice what is happening inside them, put language to what they're experiencing, connect with other people, and practice moving through life together.

Check-In, Reflect & Connect makes room for this: a morning check-in, mindful moment, an afternoon reflection, and community builder.

What this looks like in your space

Belonging

Do young people experience greater connection to their learning community? Do they show up differently when they know this practice is part of the day?

Emotional Awareness

Are learners developing more language for what they're experiencing? Do they express themselves more clearly instead of acting out?

Groundedness

Do students have practices they can draw on when things become difficult? Can they self-regulate instead of escalating?

Voice

Do young people have more opportunities to express what they need and what they notice? Are they heard?

Relationship

Are learners practicing listening, communication, empathy, and repair? Is classroom culture shifting?

Adult Capacity

How are we supporting our mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing? Do facilitators feel more equipped to facilitate conversations about emotion, relationships, and wellbeing?

My 5th graders look forward to Check-In workbook pages. When I forget them, students are quick to remind me and ask for them. It's five minutes that gives me information about the entire room.

Practicing making space for the human need for safety, belonging, and connection

Check-In, Reflect & Connect is designed to build space for those conditions daily, weaving into the fabric of the school day rather than as an add-on program.

How It Works

  • Onboarding conversation to set the program up for your context
  • We offer the First Look to capture where we're beginning
  • Begin the rhythm -morning check-in and mindful moment
  • Afternoon reflection and community builder
  • Capture growth and learning - Last Look
  • Annual license, renewable

Check-In, Reflect & Connect maps directly to Title IV-A (safe and healthy students), Title I (schoolwide or targeted assistance), Title II (staff PD), and Title III (bilingual edition/EL services).
