Why Kaleidoscope
Social and Emotional CompetenciesSocial and Emotional Competencies
have been proven by research to
 Reduce bullying/aggressive behavior
 Enhance relationships between individuals of
different cultures
 Promote appreciation for citizenry
 Improve academic performance
Our goal is to develop
the internal and external
conditions and competencies
that will help individuals
“function in the face of changes in
themselves and their relationships
with their environment.”
(Aaron Antonofsky, PhD)
".….knowledge of ourselves and
others as well as the capacity to use
this knowledge to solve problems
creatively provides an essential
foundation for both academic
learning and the capacity to become
an active, constructive citizen."
(Cohen, Jonathan. Educating Minds and Hearts.
New York. Teachers College Press, 1999. 3)
“Knowledge of one-self,
research shows,
tends to be associated with
tolerance for others”
(Allport, Gordon W. The Nature of Prejudice. Reading.
Perseus Press, 1954. 436)
(Raider et al. Teaching Conflict Resolution Skills in a Workshop. The
Handbook of Conflict Resolution. 2000. Chap. 24)
“…conflict is a natural and necessary part
of life, and that how one responds to
conflict determines if the outcomes are
constructive or destructive.”
“The integration of SEL
with traditional academics
greatly enhances
learning in both areas”
(Elias et al. Promoting Social and Emotional
Learning: Guidelines for Educators. 1997)
Researchers have found that
prosocial behavior in the
classroom is linked with positive
intellectual outcomes

prosocial behavior in the
