Teens In Action

The purpose of Teens in Action, a 10 month coed positive youth social and emotional development and civic engagement leadership program, is to develop strong emotional intelligence in high school youth through the teaching of the social and emotional concepts and skills to help ensure success in all aspects of their lives, both as youth and adults. The mission of Teens in Action is to inspire young people to use SEL skills to genuinely identify with their community needs and empower them to make a meaningful difference.

TIA Testimonials

“I am so proud of the Teens in Action volunteers who interact with the children in our Cornerstone Kids, Inc. program each week. They are very organized, easy to work with, and dependable. The teens truly accept their responsibility to the program by sharing valuable information with the children week after week. This is a wonderful opportunity for the teens to learn about the missions of non-profit organizations like Cornerstone Kids, Inc. and it also gives them the opportunity to provide a worthwhile service to the community.” –Olatha Leggett, Director, Cornerstone Kids and TIA Community Partner

“This organization has really become something that I have become passionate about. It has introduced me to a life of service, something that I will continue for the rest of my life. Teens In Action has also helped me to become an active leader in my daily life. The lessons I have learned here will stay with me as long as I live.”-Haleigh Feix, TIA Leader

Why Do Middle School Students Need Social & Emotional Learning

Middle school students are transitioning from childhood to adolescence, this transition can be a confusing time and can have effects on their emotions and behaviors. This phase is marked by the onset of puberty, which usually makes teens unpredictable and moody. During adolescence teens are discovering out who they are and how they fit into society. You may notice adolescents acting in ways you have never seen before, this is merely their process of identifying who they are as an individual and where/how they fit into the “bigger picture.” They also tend to pull away from their parents and begin to care more about gaining acceptance from their peers.

During this tumultuous time it is important for teens to learn skills that will help them in their self­-discovery process and their social interactions so they can be successful. Durlake, Weissberg, et al. (2011) conducted a meta­analysis of 213 studies of social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools. Their report shows that students who receive quality SEL programming demonstrated:

  • b​etter academic performance
  • i​mproved attitudes and behaviors
  • f​ewer-negative behaviors
  • r​educed emotional distress

LifeSkills® Training

The LifeSkills® Training (LST) program is the social and emotional learning program that Frameworks uses with middle school students. LifeSkills® Training provides students with the confidence and skills necessary to handle challenging situations. LifeSkills® Training helps students to develop a greater self-esteem and self-confidence and enables students to effectively cope with anxiety. LifeSkills® Training enhances cognitive and behavioral competency to reduce and prevent a variety of health risk behaviors and teaches students the necessary skills to resist social (peer) pressure. Students who are better able to regulate their emotions, manage their behavior and have positive relationships with others are better able to participate in and benefit from classroom instruction.

Quick Fact: According to a recent report on the economic benefit of evidence-based prevention programs, the Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) program produced a $50 benefit for every $1 invested in terms of reduced corrections costs, welfare and social services burden, drug and mental health treatment; and increased employment and tax revenue. LST had the highest return on investment of all substance abuse prevention curricula studied. The analysis of the return on investment of LST and other evidence-based prevention programs is part of a series of reports prepared by researchers at the Washington State Institute for Public Policy.

Middle School Student Testimonials

What have you learned from receiving and giving compliments?

“That it is easy to find the good in others and receiving them really helps to see how people perceive you and it makes you feel

good.” Elaina

“I gave someone a compliment and it make them feel better.” Braylen

“I just learned that even the littlest compliments can make you feel good. They’re important because everyone has to feel special.” Parker

“Someone said I was pretty and that made me feel good. Every time I look in the mirror I hear them say it.” Belle

How did SEL change your outlook on how to behave with other students?

“It made me think about how feelings matter.” Joshua

“I have more respect for students because they have a lot more respect for me.” Britney

“Community Building Sessions made me realize that to make people nice, you have to act nice.” Chris

School-Connect®

The School-Connect® (SC) Curriculum is a research based high school social and emotional curriculum built on the five social and emotional competencies of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making.

The goals of the School-Connect ® Curriculum are to develop social and emotional skills in students and guide them in applying them in school life, academics, in the community, and at home and to create a supportive learning community that helps students “connect” to school and achieve academically.

We use the School-Connect® Curriculum to build our social and emotional programs for the high school youth we serve.

Quick Fact: School-Connect® is designed to improve high school students’ social, emotional and academic skills and strengthen relationships between students and teachers.

A Note from Our Leadership

Our Mission

To teach youth to manage their emotions, develop healthy relationships, and make good decisions for academic, career, and personal success.

Why Do Elementary Students Need Social & Emotional Learning?

Children experience the integration between their affect (emotions), cognition (thinking), and behavior (actions) during the elementary years, but they need support to optimize their development. Adults must model and reinforce healthy emotional expression, perspective-­taking, and problem-­solving among other social and emotional skills, all while providing opportunities for children to apply these skills.

Elementary students are still developing foundational emotional and cognitive abilities and are not as prepared to navigate social and emotional stress in their environments. Just as you would practice swimming in safe, shallow water long before diving into the ocean, children need a safe and supportive environment in which they can learn, develop, and practice social, emotional, and cognitive skills.

Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies (PATHS®)

PATHS® is an evidence-based violence prevention program that gives children in grades K-6 the skills they need to promote social and emotional development and find positive, nonviolent solutions to social problems. The PATHS® program focuses on teaching children how to express emotions, control their emotions as appropriate, develop effective conflict-resolution strategies, and increase social competency.

Quick Fact: A Washington State Institute for Public Policy report from July 2015, shows that the PATHS program yields a benefit-cost ratio of $15.66 for each dollar invested, and provides long-term results! These economic benefits are due to reduced crime victimization, higher earnings due to improved academic achievement, and the benefits from private or employer-paid health insurance.

The Head and Heart Awards honor individuals and/or organizations that recognize the importance of social and emotional learning (SEL) to life, academic and organizational success. In addition, they are committed to the promotion, advancement and modeling of the SEL framework which includes high self-awareness, social-awareness, emotion management, empathy for others, responsible and ethical decision-making, strong communication and conflict resolution capabilities, and civic engagement to help others in our global and local communities.

Our 5th annual Head and Heart Awards luncheon, held on April 23, 2015 raised more than $160,000 to fund our summer and 2015-2016 school year youth programming. We were thrilled to have Shane J.
