5.2 White Papers
Our research department regularly publishes white papers grounded in research to demonstrate the
effectiveness of RethinkEd’s solutions. Recent white papers include:
• Professional Learning in RethinkEd’s Social and Emotional Learning Relates to Less Educator
Stress and Burnout and Better Perceptions of Well-Being and School Connectedness (2021).
This quasi-experimental study (involving over 1,000 educators) showed that educators who
completed RethinkEd SEL professional learning courses showed:
o Reduced burnout.
o Increased sense of well-being.
o Increased school connectedness.
• Effect of the RethinkEd SEL Curriculum on Student SEL Competencies (2021).
This quasi-experimental study (involving over 20,000 students) demonstrated that students who
engaged in the RethinkEd SEL lessons showed significant improvements (via self-assessment
and the teacher observation and rating scale) as compared to students in the Control group who
did not participate in the lessons. Improvements noted include:
o Improved social behavior.
o Reduced problem behavior.
o Reduced emotional distress.
o Improved self-awareness.
o Improved school connectedness.
• Parent Perceptions of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Competencies and Parent-Child
Relationships in Children and Adolescents (2020).
In this study, over seventy-five parents provided feedback via a survey assessing emotional and
behavioral characteristics of their child or teen and their child-parent relationships. The results
indicated that:
o Most elementary parents reported low to moderate behavioral concerns, while parents
of teens reported more of these issues.
o Similarly, parents of elementary students rated their children below the clinical range in
emotion and peer-related problems, while parents of teens rated their children in the
possible clinical range.
o Parents of teens also rated their relationships with their children as being less close and
having more conflict than parents of elementary children.
o This study demonstrates the need for SEL for middle and high school students to build
better parent-child relationships and improve behavior and emotional issues.
Please see the Appendices for full copies of the white papers.

reinforces the text of the lesson.
6.4 Gifted Student Supports
RethinkEd meets the unique needs of gifted students, who may struggle with recognizing emotions,
managing stress, and building healthy relationships with peers. Teachers have the option to use content
from other grades if a higher (or lower) level lesson is more developmentally appropriate for an
individual student. RethinkEd’s flexible curricula also lets teachers create self-directed lessons for
students who learn better independently.
6.5 SEL and Equity
RethinkEd’s SEL curriculum topics for adults typically mirror those available for students, except for SEL
and Equity, which is focused on adult learners. The SEL and Equity course promotes culturally responsive
teaching practices and helps teachers and staff develop an understanding of their students’ lived
experiences as well as their own cultural contexts. This course helps educators feel more comfortable
discussing topics like gender, race, ethnicity, and socio-economic class with students from diverse
backgrounds. RethinkEd’s SEL and Equity training provides teachers with practical information about
how SEL can promote equity and inclusion, empowering them to better support all learners in their
classrooms.
7 Scope of Work – Student Learning
Students today are facing an unprecedented number of challenges as evidenced by declining test scores
and a steep increase in reports of mental health struggles. RethinkEd’s comprehensive suite of solutions
supports the growth of the whole child to help schools create successful communities where all students
can flourish and learn.
7.1 Flexible Lesson Delivery
RethinkEd’s flexible lesson plans make it easy for educators to implement our curriculum in a variety of
settings without any prior training. Our solutions also offer customization tools that allow teachers to
adapt the curriculum to best fit their plans. While RethinkEd’s solutions are primarily online, districts
can print materials if needed.
7.2 Student Wellness Solutions
The RethinkEd Wellness Bundle is a flexible and scalable online platform that can be customized to
meet your district’s need for a student wellness solution that is easy to implement and manage. The
Wellness Bundle includes both the RethinkEd SEL and Mental Wellness Solutions. By combining the K-
12 SEL and Mental Wellness content, our Wellness Bundle reinforces consistent behaviors and
encourages students to adopt and apply the skills they have learned both inside and outside the
classroom.
The RethinkEd Wellness Bundle lessons are 5-, 10- or 20-minutes long. Teachers can extend a lesson to
a longer time frame to fit a full class period or present it as multiple sessions throughout the week to
allow for additional practice time. Our educator pacing guide helps teachers build an individualized
model based on their specific instructional goals. The RethinkEd Professional Services Team collaborates
with educators in each district to tailor our curriculum to fit your scope and sequence implementation
plan.
The RethinkEd Wellness Bundle curriculum provides all instructional resources and materials needed to
effectively implement each lesson, along with:
• Teaching strategies (e.g., how to introduce, explain and wrap up each lesson) that help students
connect with the material.
• Ideas for how to customize the lesson.
• Helpful hints for infusing SEL topics with other subjects like ELA or Social Studies for Tier 1 and 2
students.
• Tips for expanding the lesson beyond the classroom.
• Suggestions for accommodations and modifications to meet every student’s needs.
Every lesson features an engaging video, varied student activities, and a short quiz to allow teachers to
assess learning and adapt teaching strategies as needed.
7.2.1 Developmentally Appropriate and Differentiated
Every RethinkEd Wellness Bundle lesson focuses on developmentally appropriate goals and objectives
that are based on applied learning and social psychology research. These goals and objectives build on
each other sequentially, lesson to lesson and grade to grade.
Screen Shots from Elementary, Middle, and High School Student Videos
Each lesson includes Learn, Practice, and Dive Deeper components that break down target skills into
smaller steps, enabling scaffolding of student learning. This sequential approach allows a student to
work through a skill incrementally or advance to a higher level if warranted, providing further
opportunities for individualized learning.

We also provide differentiated teaching materials and resources for students at Tiers 1, 2 and 3 with
every lesson. Tier 1 materials align with grade-level standards, engaging students with challenging text
and multi-step activities. Tier 2 materials are less complex with simpler text and more visuals. Tier 3
materials are broken down into easy-to-understand components with an emphasis on images. The
corresponding teacher materials also include tips on modifying the lesson further for each student’s
individual needs.
Example of Differentiated Instructional Materials for a Lesson on Awareness of Self and Others (L-R, Tiers 1, 2, 3)
7.2.2 Student Social Emotional Learning
Educators understand that supporting students’ social and emotional development is imperative today.
Multiple studies show that addressing children’s social and emotional skills at school confers lifelong
benefits. Students who receive SEL instruction are less likely to have mental health disorders, use illegal
substances, or become involved with the juvenile justice system.
The RethinkEd Wellness Bundle SEL Solution provides a complete, flexible, and scalable K-12 SEL
curriculum that focuses on pro-social skills. The curriculum is divided into 30 topics across the five core
CASEL competencies, as shown below.
Awareness of Self
Self-Management Social Skills Social Awareness Self-Care
& Others
Cultural
Self-Knowledge Self-Control Fairness Mindfulness

RethinkEd SEL Student Curriculum Topics
7.2.2.1 Differentiated SEL Curriculum
To ensure that we meet the needs of all learners, the RethinkEd SEL Solution offers two differentiated
curriculum options:
• A K-12 curriculum with 390 grade-leveled lessons for Tier 1 students and accommodation
suggestions for Tier 2 students.
• A K-12 curriculum with 120 grade-banded lessons for students who require Tier 3 support or
special education interventions.
7.2.2.2 SEL Lesson Components
The RethinkEd SEL Solution offers a variety of different activities to meet the needs of all learners,
including but not limited to:
• Discussions.
• Group activities.
• Guided visualizations.
• Reflection sessions.
• Community service project ideas.
• Social media activities.
• Creative learning activities.
• Public speaking and presentation activities.
• Self-monitoring activities.
7.2.3 Transformative SEL Resources
In addition to our existing SEL curriculum, RethinkEd offers Transformative SEL Resources that support
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students with content that integrates their cultures and
recognizes the contextual factors that affect students’ experiences. Without a transformative approach,
SEL runs the risk of inadvertently furthering harmful practices that have a negative impact on BIPOC
students.
Transformative SEL acknowledges the systemic racism, disenfranchisement, and cultural erasure that
BIPOC communities experience. BIPOC students are the most marginalized in the educational system,
with lower rates of psychosocial support and higher rates of discipline, which is linked to lower rates of
graduation and a higher likelihood of exposure to the criminal justice system. BIPOC students are also
more likely to be diagnosed with behavioral disorders than receive accommodations for learning
disabilities, further limiting their potential to succeed in school.
Rather than adopting white cultural norms as seemingly “neutral” standards and placing the burden on
the students to conform to them, Transformative SEL encourages educators to recognize that
discrimination, social inequities, and cultural differences also influence behavior. By acknowledging the
implicit biases in the educational system, teachers can build stronger relationships with students based
on respect for their unique lived experiences.
RethinkEd’s Transformative SEL curriculum helps schools develop implementations that are:
• Culturally Responsive: Integrate students’ cultures and experiences into SEL instruction and
acknowledge the historical, societal, and schoolwide context that impacts students’ experiences.
• Strength-Based: Build students’ self-efficacy by celebrating and leveraging their unique
strengths and skills and provide them with opportunities for project-based learning, authentic
choices, and leadership roles.
• Healing-Centered: Acknowledge that BIPOC students are more likely to experience racial trauma
and adverse life experiences and create a safe and caring classroom where students feel
affirmed and seen. Avoid using SEL instruction as punishment.
• Contextualized: Address historical and current injustices and inequities by attending to the ways
schoolwide and societal structures might impact students’ experiences. Hire BIPOC staff,
celebrate BIPOC cultures, and build connections with students’ families to create a safe and
caring environment.
• Collective: Ensure that all members of the school community are building their SEL skills by
shifting away from individualistic notions of SEL towards a sense of community building. Create
opportunities to support staff in reflecting on any internalized bias towards students and attend
to their own SEL needs to better serve students.
7.2.3.1 Transformative Awareness of Self and Others
RethinkEd’s Transformative Awareness of Self and Others curriculum highlights the importance of
supporting all students in building awareness of themselves and others. This focus can help students
develop self-awareness about their own identities and effectively relate to others.
RethinkEd believes that healthy identity formation is essential for all students. However, it is
increasingly valuable for BIPOC students as they cultivate a sense of their culture, values, and knowledge
from within a society that historically tends to privilege white cultural norms over others.
The RethinkEd Transformative Awareness of Self and Others competency includes:
• Emotions
• Wants and Needs
• Learning Skills
• Self-Knowledge
• Values
• Growth Mindset
7.2.3.2 Transformative Self-Management
RethinkEd’s Transformative Self-Management curriculum includes ways to help cultivate and foster
important self-management skills such as regulating emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in healthy and
productive ways.
By developing self-management skills, BIPOC students are empowered to both recognize and assert
their agency through making decisions and achieving goals.
The RethinkEd Transformative Self-Management competency focuses on:
• Self-Control
• Stress Management
• Focus
• Problem Solving
• Goal Setting
• Resilience
7.2.3.3 Transformative Social Skills
RethinkEd found that when students possess sufficient social skills they are better equipped to build and
maintain healthy relationships that prioritize their needs and the needs of others.
The Transformative Social Skills curriculum highlights the reality that BIPOC students are likely to face
biased messages in educational spaces that subtly and not so subtly tell them that they do not belong.
This is highly detrimental as a sense of belonging is an important aspect of BIPOC student’s mental
health and academic success.
The RethinkEd Transformative Social Skills competency includes:
• Fairness
• Respect
• Friendship
• Relationships
• Cooperation
• Conflict Resolution
7.2.3.4 Transformative Social Awareness
RethinkEd’s Transformative Social Awareness curriculum acknowledges that social awareness provides
students with a myriad of positive benefits such as being able to empathize with others, build strong
support systems, and feel a sense of collective investment in fostering equity and justice.
RethinkEd’s research found that BIPOC communities regularly utilize social awareness when navigating
through a world marked by racism and discrimination. A heightened sensitivity to social dynamics and
communication can help both students and adults to successfully navigate these difficult situations.
The RethinkEd Transformative Social Awareness competency focuses on:
• Empathy
• Cultural Competence
• Social Contributions
• Actions and Consequences
• Support Systems
• Safe and Ethical Behavior
7.2.3.5 Transformative Self-Care
Self-care is the practice of caring for one’s physical, social, and mental wellness. RethinkEd knows that
self-care significantly reduces stress, improves overall mood, and promotes self-empowerment and
agency in students, which is why the Transformative Self-Care curriculum is included in our
Transformative SEL resources.
Self-care benefits BIPOC students because it challenges pre-existing victimizing narratives that equate
discrimination with lack of agency. In reality, BIPOC communities consistently practice both individual
and collective forms of self-care. RethinkEd’s Transformative Self-Care curriculum emphasizes the
positive benefits of self-care and builds on practices that may already be part of the student’s culture.
The RethinkEd Transformative Self-Care competency includes:
• Mindfulness
• Self-Efficacy
• Optimism
• Self-Compassion
• Self-Advocacy
• Healthy Boundaries
7.2.4 Student Mental Wellness
The RethinkEd Mental Wellness Solution is an online K-12 curriculum that helps students develop a
greater understanding of mental health and well-being topics with strategies grounded in research and
evidence.
The Mental Wellness curriculum covers 11 topic areas:
Anxiety Mental Wellness Trauma
Preventing Violence &
Kindness to Animals Healthy Identities
Bullying
Reducing the Risk of Digital Citizenship &
Depression
Suicide Online Safety
Substance Use
Human Trafficking
Disorders
RethinkEd Mental Wellness Student Curriculum Topics
7.2.4.1 Differentiated Mental Wellness Curriculum
The RethinkEd Mental Wellness Solution curriculum supports students at all tiers and/or levels with
differentiated resources. The curriculum contains 182 grade-leveled lessons that meet the needs of Tier
1 students and include strategies for accommodations and modifications for students at Tiers 2 and 3.
7.2.4.2 Alignment to SEL Skills
Every lesson plan in the Mental Wellness Solution includes a Beyond the Lesson guide that aligns it with
lessons from the RethinkEd SEL Solution. This integration gives students opportunities to practice SEL
skills throughout the day, which in turn supports their mental wellbeing.
The Grade 10 Beyond the Lesson example below suggests various SEL topics, alongside their objectives,
to assist teachers with planning and making connections across the curricula.
Beyond the Lesson
Protective strategies are developed over time and with continued practice. It is important to continue to
provide students with support in developing their SEL skills for managing their emotions and stress,
developing resiliency, and making connections. These protective strategies have been identified as key to
helping students reduce the risk of suicide.
For addition resources to help students develop their protective strategies, see the following Grade 10

8 Scope of Work – Professional Learning
RethinkEd Professional Learning empowers educators with a comprehensive curriculum of challenging
courses that foster continuous growth. While our courses for adults correspond to our resources for K-
12 students and support their implementation, districts can implement our Professional Learning course
independently of or prior to our K-12 solutions.
We offer both online and in-person training to accommodate the schedules and preferences of your
professional staff. Online learning can be self-directed using our extensive catalog of online courses or
delivered through video conference meetings with our experienced trainers. We can also provide onsite
group or PLC trainings for professional learning days or other events.
We recognize that every district is different when it comes to their professional learning and
development approach, which is why our solutions for adults are so flexible. Many of our districts
implement a combination of both independent online learning and in person group training to find the
right balance for their staff. RethinkEd staff work closely with you to develop a professional learning
plan that best supports your specific initiatives.
8.1 On-Demand Professional Learning
RethinkEd offers on-demand online professional learning to allow educators and staff to complete the
courses independently if desired. Courses generate certificates of completion that may be used for
continuing education hours or to support performance evaluations. Administrators can monitor all
professional learning activities via a robust Administrator Dashboard.
The RethinkEd Professional Learning Solution serves as a complete Professional Learning resource for
your school. The platform can expand to include content from multiple RethinkEd curricula. Throughout
the Professional Learning Solution, you will find:
• 8–10-minute videos available with English and Spanish closed captioning.
• Discussion and extension activities for opportunities to dive deeper and/or practice new skills.
• Topic quizzes that test for new knowledge and support Professional Learning accountability,
which can count as additional Continuing Education hours (30 minutes per course module).
• An Administrator Dashboard to track engagement with real-time reports.
8.2 Group Learning & Professional Learning Communities
Group learning sessions and Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are an excellent way to facilitate
continuous learning and capacity building with your staff. RethinkEd offers live PLC sessions that can
incorporate any of the topics in our Professional Learning courses or address specific concerns of your
district. RethinkEd can also customize the content for specific groups, for example, Elementary, Middle,
or High School educators.
Group learning sessions and PLCs are delivered virtually or in-person. RethinkEd Professional Services
team members conduct virtual sessions using a state-of-the-art online learning platform. During these
convenient online sessions, attendees participate in real-time training with opportunities to share
screens, ask questions, troubleshoot, and receive feedback. RethinkEd will also come to your district for
on-site sessions that deliver a firsthand experience in a supportive training environment if preferred.
Group Learning sessions and PLCs cover:
• Introductory platform functionality training.
• Advanced platform functionality training.
• On-going platform functionality support.
• Job-embedded coaching.
• Topic-specific workshops based on any of our on-demand modules.
8.3 Adult Wellness & Wellness Professional Learning
The RethinkEd Wellness Professional Learning Solution engages educators and administrators in
continuous learning not only to support students, but also to develop their own personal social,
emotional, and mental wellness. Our Wellness Professional Learning Solution was developed by a team
of experts in the fields of medicine, psychology, mental health, and SEL. It includes SEL and Mental
Wellness content that complements the RethinkEd K-12 curriculum to create a unified experience for
both adult and student learners in the school community.
RethinkEd Experts who Developed the Wellness Professional Learning Series
Most of the topics covered in the RethinkEd Wellness Professional Learning Solution mirror the topics
addressed in the student curriculum. This alignment, unique to the RethinkEd curriculum, prepares the
educators implementing the student curriculum to model the same skills that the students are learning.
While implementing both the K-12 and Professional Learning programs together offers the most
effective approach to developing a positive school culture, districts can implement the Professional
Learning solution independently if needed.

Team Training Guides help groups forge connections,
collaborate, and successfully manage everyday challenges and
conflicts that can hold them back and impact the wellbeing of
both staff and students.
Courses that include a Team Training Guide feature a blue icon
of a small group on the Course image. Each team training guide
provides support for facilitators to easily lead sessions or PLCs

easy for administrators to track and report on user engagement across the district.
We also offer theme/topic-based guides for campaigns to keep staff engaged with the platform.
Administrators can implement monthly campaigns or customize a schedule for the district or building
depending on their needs. Every campaign includes communication and messaging templates,
newsletter blurbs, articles, team challenges, handouts and posters to promote the theme.
These campaigns can be planned collaboratively with leadership, school champions and administrative
staff to encourage buy-in and create a sense of ownership for all participants. RethinkCare’s resources
make it easy for districts to create and sustain a culture of wellbeing throughout the year.
8.3.3.6 Resources to Support Return on Investment (ROI)
Administrators with fiscal or budgetary responsibilities need to know if the programs they implement
provide a positive Return on Investment (ROI). RethinkCare’s built-in ROI calculator can help you gain
insights into progress with your engagement goals and metrics pertaining to absenteeism, productivity,
turnover, and wellbeing claims.
8.3.3.7 Resources that Align with Your District Values

accomplishments in the RethinkCare program. Courses are all available online and can typically be
completed in 90-120 minutes.
9 Parent & Caregiver Resources
Parent and caregiver engagement is an essential component for creating positive learning
environments. RethinkEd’s solutions include resources for Parents and Caregivers to keep them
informed about their student’s activities. By fostering collaboration between school and home
RethinkEd solutions encourage consistency and retention of learning.
9.1 Wellness
The most effective learning requires a collaborative approach that involves everyone from district
leadership to educators to families working together to ensure students receive the support they need.
Our parent/caregiver resources, which are available in English and Spanish, offer a wide-range of tools
to promote home-school collaboration, including:
• Home Connection Letters that provide the parent/caregiver with information about social
and emotional learning and mental wellness learning that happens during instructional time
at school, along with activities that the parent can use with their child at home.
• Access to RethinkEd SEL on-demand modules. All parents and caregivers (with district
approval) can access online, video-based SEL modules where they can learn more about
critical topics to support their own emotional wellness.
• Access to RethinkEd Mental Wellness on-demand modules. All parents and caregivers (with
district approval) can access online, video-based mental wellness modules where they can
learn more about critical topics to support their own mental wellness. District leaders can track
parent access to these modules in the Administrator Dashboard.

10 Scope of Work – Assessment & Tracking Tools
RethinkEd’s solutions are a comprehensive resource for data collection and progress monitoring, with
tracking tools for both educators and administrators.
10.1 Screening & Assessment Data Compatibility
RethinkEd’s solutions can also ingest data from other platforms via API or SFTP.
10.2 Wellness Assessment
Our wellness solutions, SEL and RethinkCare, offer different tools for tracking user participation and
progress.
10.2.1 Social Emotional Learning
10.2.1.1 Student Wellness Self-Assessment/Screener
RethinkEd partnered with the Educational Records Bureau (ERB) for the Student Wellness Self-
Assessment for grades 3-12. ERB is an industry-leading independent educational advisory who, for more
than 90 years, have provided students and families with the tools and insights they need to accurately
track student progress and help every student reach their unique learning goals.
The RethinkEd Student Wellness Self-Assessment asks students to reflect on and evaluate their own SEL
skills. Educators can then make data-based decisions about SEL interventions by evaluating results for a
single student or the whole class. Multiple studies have shown that self-report is an effective and
valuable tool for evaluating SEL skills in students (e.g., West, Buckley, Krachan, & Bookman, 2017).
The Student Wellness Self-Assessment focuses on academic, career, and citizenship topics. It uses
positively phrased items to protect against discouraging students and measures concrete, observable,
and malleable behaviors that can be improved through instruction and practice. The tool provides the
option of conducting pre/post surveys, with Fall and Spring versions of the assessment available.
Students complete the Self-Assessment (typically in approximately 15 minutes) via their Student
Learning Center. Educators can view results in individual, aggregate (group summary), and roster (by
classroom) formats. Results include an overall SEL competency scale score and norm-referenced
statistics that link directly back to the RethinkEd SEL curriculum. Administrators can also view trends
across their district to support and inform current wellness initiatives.
Example of SEL Student Self-Assessment Score Report
Example of SEL Student Self-Assessment Group Score Report
10.2.1.2 SEL Classroom Rating Scale
The SEL Solution’s Classroom Rating Scale for grades 3-12 allows educators to rank the SEL skills of
students in their classroom with a simple eight question assessment. Teacher ratings are a well-accepted
and valid tool for evaluating SEL skills in students (e.g., Jones, Greenberg, & Crowley, 2015).
The SEL Classroom Rating Scale enables educators to assess their entire classroom quickly and easily on
the five dimensions of socio-emotional competencies defined by CASEL. The eight-question assessment
provides reporting metrics for the classroom, as well as for individual students. After completion,
educators can view recommended lessons that correspond to the RethinkEd student curriculum to
directly address the unique needs of their classroom. Additionally, educators can view student and
classroom progress over time by comparing results from previous assessments.
10.2.1.3 SEL Knowledge Quizzes
Knowledge Quizzes are available for all lessons in the Tier 1 and Tier 2 curriculum. Students complete
and submit the three-question quiz via their digital Student Learning Center. These Knowledge Quizzes
can function as pre/post assessments, end of topic quizzes, and tools for monitoring retention of
information over time.
Students receive immediate results on their quiz performance. Educators can disaggregate Knowledge
Quiz results, for example, by classroom progress on a specific quiz or by students’ individual progress.
They can also leave feedback for the student and re-assign or unassign the quiz.
Example of Knowledge Quiz Question in Spanish - Student View
Immediate feedback on the quiz performance – Student View
Example of Classroom Knowledge Quiz Reporting Tool – Educator View
10.2.2 RethinkCare Analytics and Reporting
The RethinkCare program provides a variety of opportunities for tracking usage and collecting data.
Individuals keep track of their own personal journey with progress indicators for each topic and
collection. Administrators assess key metrics through the RethinkCare Administrator Dashboard.

The easy-to-read Administrator Dashboard displays meaningful data for any date range needed to
inform effective decision-making. Filtering tools help zoom in on specific data, such as the type of device
used to access the platform.
Examples of some of the metrics from the administrator dashboards are included below:
10.3 Professional Learning Courses Assessment
Each user has an online Professional Learning Center where they can monitor progress towards
completion of on-demand learning modules. Users can track progress within each of their training
courses or within their overall training plan, view quiz scores, and download completion certificates.
Example of staff training dashboard and in-module progress tracker
10.4 Administrator Dashboard
The RethinkEd platform features an intuitive set of data collection tools that enable administrators to
monitor user participation and training outcomes across the whole school community. Our
Administrator Dashboard displays meaningful data with detailed graphs and progress reports to guide
decision-making. As part of each district’s implementation plan, the RethinkEd Professional Services
team provides trainings for district leaders on how to access, interpret, and export data from the
platform.
Administrators can use the Dashboard to:
• Evaluate engagement and utilization by tracking staff and student usage.
• Monitor staff professional learning progress.
• View student assessment results and lesson areas taught.
• Assess the frequency of positive or negative student behavior.
Data and analysis are available for any date range needed. All data can be viewed by district, building,
and individual (depending on user access levels) in disaggregated and aggregated formats.
Administrators can download data in a variety of file formats for use in Excel or other data-driven
programs. The RethinkEd Administrator Dashboard makes it easy to formulate reports and share data
with other stakeholders.

10.5 RethinkEd District Reports
RethinkEd professionals also create detailed reports for each district’s leadership team on a quarterly
basis. These reports reflect the goals and objectives of the district and facilitate in-depth analysis for
implementation evaluation and other reporting purposes.
11 RethinkEd Alignments
RethinkEd’s solutions align with multiple frameworks and initiatives, including the Collaborative for
Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), Trauma-Informed Care, and Restorative Practice.
RethinkEd also aligns with state learning standards across the nation.
11.1 Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL)
The RethinkEd SEL Solution is fully aligned to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional
Learning (CASEL) framework. Our curriculum topics focus on the five CASEL competencies, including Self-
Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills (Social Skills), and Responsible
Decision Making (Self-Care).

11.2 Trauma-Informed Initiatives
Trauma is a reality for too many students today, as well as for the educators, paraprofessionals, and
family members who support them. The effects of trauma not only impact interpersonal relationships
but also students’ abilities to engage in meaningful learning in the classroom.
SEL skills are at the heart of any trauma-sensitive approach. By encouraging the development of SEL
skills in both students and adults, RethinkEd’s solutions promote healing and reduce the potential for
traumatization in your school community and beyond.
Our curriculum aligns with the principles of Trauma-Informed Care, including Safety, Choice,
Collaboration, Trust, Empowerment, and Intersectionality. The RethinkEd SEL and mental health student
curricula and corresponding Professional Learning Solution help reduce the effects of trauma and
potential for re-traumatization at school by promoting:
• Safe behaviors.
• Ethical decision-making.
• Self-care to manage stress and prevent burnout.
• Social support systems that help both adults and students build resilience and develop emotion
regulation skills.

The RethinkEd Professional Learning Solution also provides educators with a culturally competent
understanding of the intersectional nature of trauma and its impacts. Our Professional Services team
works collaboratively with district leadership to design an implementation plan that meets the unique
needs of your school community and aligns with any established trauma-informed care initiatives
already in place.
11.3 Restorative Practices Initiatives
Research shows that punitive disciplinary approaches that exclude students from schools through
suspensions, expulsions, and referrals are counterproductive, while restorative practices can transform
student behavior and create a climate of safety, accountability, and fairness. Restorative strategies
improve relationships within the school community, not only between students, but also between
students and educators, and even among educators themselves.
RethinkEd’s alignment with restorative practices helps prevent problem behaviors, promotes
constructive conflict resolution, and supports the social and emotional growth of all learners in the
community. The RethinkEd SEL Solution provides training in the social and emotional skills essential for
both students and adults to make restorative practices truly successful. Our Professional Services team
works collaboratively with district leadership during initial planning to develop an SEL implementation
that aligns to any existing restorative practices initiatives.
The RethinkEd Wellness Bundle incorporates the principles of Restorative Justice, Restorative Structure,
and Relationship Building, which in turn align with the CASEL competencies, creating a seamless
approach to sustaining a culture of accountability, trust, and respect.

11.4 Standards-Based Instruction
Many states and districts use a Standards-Based approach linked to their state’s academic learning
standards. RethinkEd offers alignment to state learning standards throughout our solutions. The
RethinkEd professional services and development teams can also create customized content as needed
to support your state or district's goals. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs or to schedule a
demonstration in your district.
12 Flexible Implementation
RethinkEd’s Professional Services team partners with you to develop an implementation plan
customized for your unique district. Our flexible solutions can adapt to integrate seamlessly into a
district’s existing plans to meet your specific strategic goals. Throughout our partnership, RethinkEd
collaborates with you to successfully implement a simple to follow program that achieves meaningful
positive outcomes in your schools.
The RethinkEd Professional Services team is ready to begin implementation as soon as contracts are
finalized. We kick off with strategy workshops with leadership to build the plan and determine any
concurrent technology/data integration needs. After completion of the initial plan, the RethinkEd
Professional Services team follows up regularly (typically quarterly) to review progress with district
leaders and discuss any changes the district may require. Implementation and Professional Learning
planning will be ongoing for the duration of our partnership.
Implementation planning discussions typically include topics such as:
• Determination of long-term goal(s) and short-term benchmarks.
• Strategies for encouraging stakeholder awareness, engagement, and ongoing communication.
• Technology/integration needs.
• Identification of key implementation staff and/or trainers across the district who will be
responsible for day-to-day implementation.
• Professional Learning needs for all instructional, implementation, and support staff (initial and
ongoing).
• Parent awareness and involvement.
• Analysis and evaluation of implementation.
• Any other topics that may be of interest or concern for your district.
12.1 Sample Implementation Plans
