4. Promote Student Well-Being
LitCamp: LitCamp aims to build students’ literacy skills and cultivate their overall well-being through a framework called the 7 Strengths—belonging, curiosity, friendship, kindness, confidence, courage, and hope. By incorporating these concepts into the reading and writing instruction, combined with an engaging summer camp approach, LitCamp offers robust and engaging lessons that harness students' literacy skills development and promote student well-being. Scholastic Scholar Zone Summer: The program intentionally addresses students' well-being with BellXcel Explorers, a whole- child curriculum with lessons, STEAM enrichment, field trips, physical activities, and supporting teacher resources. Rigorous third-party evaluations confirm that Scholar Zone's model for summer programs show growth in key social-emotional competencies such as growth mindset, self-regulation, self-awareness, responsible decision-making, and self-confidence. Explorers by Arly is a life skills enrichment curriculum carefully designed to positively impact the culture and climate of a summer program.
Data strongly show that children’s well-being and ability to manage their emotions and relationships influence reading achievement (Yu et al., 2023). Because students learn most when they feel safe and supported, and learning is impaired when they are traumatized or overcome with emotions, research strongly supports teaching students social and emotional skills—not just academic ones (Osher et al., 2011).
