How to Teach Captains and Poets (With Jan Frolic)

Captains & Poets is a groundbreaking Kindergarten – Grade 12 Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that students will take with them their entire lives. Our research-based program has been built by a passionate team of educators, parents, SEL and equity consultants to help young people reach their full potential. The premise of the program is that there is a unique Captain and Poet in each of us that, in partnership, enable us to be our best selves. When kids learn about their inner Captain and Poet they have immediate access to their emotions, their unique gifts and perspectives, and the complexities of what makes them human. They become more resilient, learn how to draw on their innate strengths, and to nurture a positive mindset. By inspiring connection to self and others, we encourage a healthier sense of well-being and identity, more positive relationships, and greater agency and purpose in the world. VIEW THE RESEARCH Captains & Poets is the SEL program that: GROWN-UPS wish they had when they were young. TEACHERS can integrate easily into the classroom. SCHOOLS can align to key priorities.

SEL PROGRAMS Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the foundation of learning.
