Lori Ernsperger, Executive Director of Behavioral Training Resource Center, and author of Recognize, Respond, Report: Preventing and Addressing Bullying of Students with Special Needs. - January 7, 2016
“The authors of the Strong Kids 2nd Edition tackle an important topic for educators: Social Emotional Learning. The series is highly recommended and will prove invaluable to school professionals with structured lesson plans and supplementary materials to help all students succeed.”
Paul Caldarella, Associate Professor, Brigham Young University, Center for the Improvement of Teacher Education and Schooling, Department of Counseling Psychology and Special Education - December 21, 2015
“My colleagues and I have conducted several studies on the curricula in the Strong Kids series and have been impressed with how easily public school educators have been able to implement these with fidelity. We have also documented improvements in students’ internalizing symptoms (e.g., anxiety and depression) following implementation of Strong Kids, particularly for at-risk students. We look forward to using the updated curricula in future studies.”
