High School Resources

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning is helping make evidence-based social and emotional learning an integral part of education from preschool through high school.


The Third Path

"The book, and accompanying Educator Strategy Guides, written by and for educators, examines student well-being and its relationship to achievement and later life success. It covers the challenges in promoting student well-being in an educational setting and outlines the rationale for a new way of approaching education: The Third Path. The book outlines the Relationship-Based Approach to education, and the eight Conditions that make up the Third Path -- the conditions that simultaneously support well-being and achievement. The book is available on its own, bundled with the Strategy Guides, or as a 5-pack set. "

If your school is interested in this program, and currently does not have access to this, please talk with your Administrator who can reach out to Student Services for more support.

Random Acts of Kindness

"Our new 16-week High School elective course will give you the opportunity to gather new and deeper insights about respect, caring, integrity, inclusiveness, and courage and to begin to apply them in new and more meaningful ways. Through the development and deployment of a community service project, you will build self-initiative, critical thinking, and community networking skills."

Mental Health & High School

"The Mental Health and High School Curriculum Guide" provides a complete set of educational tools to increase understanding of mental health and mental disorders among both students and teachers. The Guide, developed in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association, focuses on training teachers to be comfortable with their own knowledge of mental health and mental disorders. The Guide then empowers the teachers to share this knowledge with their students through a curriculum delivered in a multiple module format.”
