QuaverEd and Panorama Education Partner to Provide Digital Life Skills Tools for PreK-5 Teachers

Each year, thousands of educators across the country partner with Growing Leaders to develop middle and high school students’ life skills and a school-wide culture of leadership. 

Now, practitioners can explore a collection of life skills activities from QuaverEd’s comprehensive curriculum, QuaverReady, on Playbook, Panorama Education’s online professional learning library that equips practitioners and school leaders with strategies for creating a positive school climate and implementing life skills in K-12 classrooms.

This engaging set of resources from QuaverReady empowers administrators and educators to support students with self-regulation and life skills. The interactive activities are conducive to in-person, remote, and hybrid learning environments.

QuaverReady helps create a school wide culture of caring with easy-to-use digital resources for teachers, counselors, and students. Developed by online curriculum experts at QuaverEd, QuaverReady curriculum resources support all educators in a school with a full year of ready-to-use lessons for grade PreK-5, plus standalone activities to support morning meetings or whole class, small group, and one-on-one instruction. Lessons can be further customized by teachers and counselors to best meet the needs of students.

The strategies from QuaverReady align directly with topics from the Panorama Student Survey, including:

• Emotion Regulation
• Growth Mindset
• Self-Management
• Self-Efficacy
• Perseverence
• School and Classroom Climate
• Sense of Belonging
• Social Awareness
• Teacher-Student Relationships

For example, in the song "The World We See," students examine the perspectives from which others view the world. Through an associated activity—Perspective Sunglasses—students share their own perspectives with a partner in order to learn about one another’s lenses. With the song and the printable materials, teachers can support students as they develop social awareness and build community.

Panorama’s Playbook connects teachers, counselors, and school leaders with easy-to-implement resources, activities, and research related to emotion regulation, sense of belonging, teacher-student relationships, and more. Teachers explore Panorama's Playbook when they are looking to take action on their Panorama student survey data on school climate and life skills.

As schools and districts across the country continue to support students’ life skills, cultural and cognitive competencies, we are thrilled to share innovative strategies from expert organizations such as QuaverEd!
