Our integration of Class Catalyst with our SEL curriculum (K-12) has been designated as CASEL SELect. We are proud to receive this designation by demonstrating a positive impact on students while giving them an authentic opportunity to share their voice and needs every day.

Better Student Wellness 🤝 Better Student Outcomes
Provided by Move This World, Advocate Sponsor
One of the biggest challenges schools face when implementing social-emotional learning is getting students and teachers to simply buy in. 

When we ask educators what their SEL program is missing, a surprisingly common answer is fun.

Move This World is all about fun. Our SEL curriculum is rooted in movement, play, and creative expression. And it’s not just fun for fun’s sake—when students are active and engaged, they learn. Who knew!

When we give students opportunities to be creative and expressive during instruction, they can connect with themselves and their peers more profoundly, developing key social-emotional skills in the process.

With the push of a play button, Move This World’s expansive multimedia curriculum allows schools to:
  • Cultivate a positive school climate for everyone
  • Develop a common language that connects students, educators, and families in class and at home
  • Strengthen social-emotional skills for better learning outcomes
  • Engage students in a way textbooks, worksheets, and packets never will

Level up your SEL practice this year and go back to school with fresh ideas for engaging your students. Get a first-hand look at Move This World’s SEL curriculum today.
