Beyond SEL: Build purpose + belonging for future-ready students.
关于我们
Wayfinder, developed at the Stanford University d.school, offers a comprehensive K-12 curriculum that goes beyond social-emotional learning to equip students with essential future-ready skills. Rooted in research, Wayfinder's curriculum focuses on Self-Awareness, Adaptability, Empathy, Collaboration, Agency, and Purpose. These skills aim to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications, preparing students for lifelong success. Wayfinder is designed to build meaningful connections, enhance student engagement, and improve school climate. It includes the Waypoints assessment suite, which provides real-time insights into student growth, enabling targeted instruction and timely interventions. The program's flexible implementation options work across settings and grade levels, and it integrates seamlessly with all major learning management systems. Wayfinder has been positively received by both students and teachers since 2015, with significant improvements reported in student engagement, social awareness, and sense of purpose post-implementation. The program has served students from over 65 countries across the globe, including major US districts like Omaha Public Schools, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, Portland Public Schools, and The School District of Philadelphia. Recently, Wayfinder received the highest possible program designation from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) and the highest possible Learning Rating from Common Sense Education.
