Purpose/Use/Notes:

The USBE offered a grant to teachers to use this curriculum. I am using it for SEL training in Resource grade K-4. I completed a training session to learn how to use it. The teacher portal is https://portal.teachingitright.com/auth/login and the student portal is wearefriends.cool. I learned from our tech person at our school that I can't put the link on my Clever page unless I get it approved. This curriculum was piloted in the State last year and the results were very positive. The contact person for the company is: Noelle Hennick- Training & Customer Support. I spoke with her and she said other schools in Granite are using this and the Special Education Director approved it for use in SPED.
