We believe captivating SEL stories are for every classroom. That’s why world-class storytellers and educators design every Learning Journey to be globally adaptive, globally inclusive, and globally relevant.

We believe in creating alongside educators and students. From the start, we have seen educators and students as true partners on this journey to open hearts and minds.
This is how we’ve designed our SEL lesson plans to be adaptive across learning environments, in school and homeschooling. To be effective early in life, every day, and anywhere you(th) are learning. To support educators in the lifelong learning journey, too. (Read the full SEL Resource)

Global SEL Lesson Plans Have Deep Impact On Educators & Students
Too many of us (humans) grow up without support to practice understanding diverse people, cultures, mindsets, perspectives, and ways of life.
Lots of brainstorming. Not enough “heartstorming”.
When we don’t use our empathy and critical thinking muscles, our ability to see one another as unique amazing humans starts to wither away.
That leads to knots in our chests, bullying, inequity, injustice, prejudice, family fights, and conflict. Bias. Judgment. Separation. Hate.
That’s why Better World Ed’s SEL lesson plans & stories exist for all of us:
To move from our heads to our hearts.
To learn to love self, others, and our world.
To learn to live with ubuntu: “I am because WE are”
Let’s engage students with global stories and conversations that open our hearts and minds early in life, every day, and everywhere.
You(th) can and will help all of us come back together. Across every line of difference and every border. With social, emotional, and academic brilliance.
Let’s untangle the knots within and between us. Let’s reweave the fabric of our communities. Let’s Be WE.
