praise for the emozi® Middle School curriculum
“The Emozi® curriculum has helped transform our students’ social-emotional skills. I really believe that the Emozi curriculum has helped to decrease instances of exclusion, fighting among friends, and unhealthy habits; and has helped to increase inclusivity, healthy habits, and relationships among our middle school students! We have already ordered our workbooks for next year and are so excited to continue to be using Emozi!”
- Dr. Leora Orenbuch, School Psychologist, Yavneh Hebrew Academy
THE PROBLEM
Pivotal changes and growth happen in middle and high school that come with its unique set of challenges, such as an increase in feelings of peer pressure and more instances of cyberbullying.
Rejection
& Reduced Self Esteem
Self esteem and confidence take a hit as students struggle with rejection and loss during a pivotal development phase that includes crushes, frienemies, and changing minds and bodies.
Changing Social
Dynamics
Changing social groups, friendships, and increased “drama” between cliques make it difficult for teens to know where their place is in the group and community.
Increased Academic & Personal Responsibility
Secondary school students feel the pressure from increased homework, higher academic expectations, and time management.
Experimenting
& Negative Peer Pressure
Teen students tend to feel increased pressure to fit in and can make poor decisions regarding smoking, drinking, drugs, and other dangerous behaviors.
