EduGuide

In multiple, rigorous studies, EduGuide’s Peer Mentoring Community has improved schoolwide attendance, behavior, grades, test scores and college achievement by 10% or more, putting it in the top-tier of CASEL’s evidence-based engagement programs. Yet EduGuide’s system is so simple to run that schools have launched the program within days of signing up -- just by sharing a link with students. Additionally, EduGuide’s multi-layered PD helps teachers grow their own social emotional strengths to coach their students more effectively. Each week teachers ask students to do an online EduGuide reflective writing activity on their own for at least 15 minutes. Students watch a video or work through a scenario and set goals. They learn one new skill and then choose one other person they can help that week with the skill. EduGuide is a universal Tier 1 program that has also been used widely for targeted Tier 2 and 3 students with a range of special cognitive, social, emotional, and other needs. Activities are culturally responsive and trauma informed and include unique language learning tools for English language learners. Elementary, middle, and high schools in all 50 states have used EduGuide to improve student outcomes. That’s because EduGuide is built on 5 What Works Clearinghouse validated control group studies on interventions that have been shown to improve engagement, wellbeing, and equity.
