Move This World Partners with Aperture Education to Provide Social Emotional Learning Exercises through Evidence-Based Videos
This partnership allows Aperture customers to access a sampling of videos from Move This World’s PreK-12 curriculum to teach social emotional skills to students.
New York, NY (August 26, 2020) — Social-emotional learning (SEL) companies Move This World and Aperture Education have partnered to provide Aperture’s customers with additional resources to support the development of students’ social-emotional skills. Aperture customers can now access a sampling of evidence-based, engaging videos created by Move This World that help develop and strengthen students’ social-emotional skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making.
“Aperture Education’s DESSA Assessment helps schools identify how students are developing core social emotional learning skills, which will help them thoughtfully think about how they plan for SEL instruction,” said Kathy Krupa, VP of Partnerships of Move This World. “As a tier 1, foundational SEL support, we’re excited to help communities of students build these essential life skills together and know that schools are looking for a way to measure impact. We’re excited to share this sampling of content with Aperture to help support their students SEL development particularly during a time when social emotional learning and mental health supports are more critical than ever.”
