Charter school networks face unique challenges that wellness and life skills programs can help address. We know that as champions for education, you want the best for your students. When you choose Emozi® you know that you are choosing a character development program that will deliver lasting results.

Character Development implementation can help charter schools reach their educational and social development goals to give students their best chance at success post graduation.

Here’s how:

• Student Achievement:

  • Concern: Charter schools must often meet certain performance metrics to retain their charter.

  • Role: Research shows that students with better emotional regulation and social skills perform better academically. Emozi® can improve students' ability to concentrate, persevere in facing challenges, and employ effective study strategies.

• Student Behavior and Discipline:

  • Concern: Addressing disruptive behavior can be challenging, with schools needing to balance discipline with support.

  • Role: Our Emozi® Programs teach students self-regulation, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills, reducing the incidence of behavioral issues. This can lead to fewer disciplinary actions and a more positive school climate.

• Teacher Retention:

  • Concern: Charter schools sometimes struggle with high teacher turnover due to various challenges, including behavior management and work-related stress.

  • Role: Our Emozi® programs are designed with educators in mind to provide ongoing support post purchase. Through our program training we equip educationrs with the tools needed to impelement our program effectivly and with ease. Each lesson has embedded professional development to allow teachers to reflect on how each lesson impacts themselves. Our lessons are fully scripted which allows teachers to spend more time teaching with less prep time. There are also many ways for educators to stay connected with us such as our monthly newsletter which offers implementation tips and free lesson printables.

• School Climate:

  • Concern: Creating a positive school environment where students feel safe, supported, and engaged is a priority for charter networks.

  • Role: The Emozi® programs can help foster stronger relationships among students, staff, and faculty, leading to a more collaborative and supportive school culture.

• Parent and Community Engagement:

  • Concern: Given their distinct nature, charter schools often emphasize fostering strong ties with parents and the surrounding community.

  • Role: With the Emozi® programs we WANT parental involvement and believe in educational transparency. Each lesson comes with a home-connection letter for parents to extend their child’s learning beyond the classroom. Our Parent Hub makes it easy for parents to learn about our programs, what character development is, and how they can be involved. We believe that our lessons can extend beyond students, offering tools and training sessions for parents and community members, leading to better home-school connections and community support.

• Mental Health Concerns:

  • Concern: Increasingly, schools are recognizing students' mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression to the effects of trauma.

  • Role: While the Emozi® programs are not a replacement for professional mental health interventions, they can provide students with coping mechanisms, resilience-building tools, and a platform to discuss and understand their feelings.

• Funding and Resource Limitations:

  • Concern: Charter schools sometimes operate with tighter budgets and fewer resources than traditional public schools.

  • Role: By addressing behavioral issues, improving academic performance, and enhancing school climate, the Emozi® programs can indirectly help charter schools make the most of their resources and potentially attract more funding or support. Additionally, we want to make sure our programs can propel the most students forward and that is why our training is included in each program purchase.
