Join us in developing resilient learners! Here you will find low-cost, research-based K–12 curricula in four foundational competencies (i.e., self-efficacy, self-regulation, assertiveness, and conflict management) along with a free companion assessment site for students. Complementary family resources build competencies in homes.
On-demand and self-paced professional development opportunities are available to support educators and leadership teams in systematically teaching competencies and academic learning standards simultaneously, thereby improving academic achievement, engagement, and postschool outcomes.
The College and Career Competency Framework, developed by Drs. Gaumer Erickson and Noonan at the University of Kansas, supports educators and families in developing resilient learners who collaborate to expand skills, express their wants and needs respectfully, and apply strategies to self-regulate and persevere.
