We are so grateful to all who came and contributed to this high-energy, full-capacity event. We'll be sharing photos and videos from the conference as soon as they're available. Sign up for our enewsletter and we'll keep you posted on our postings (and much else)!
 

SEE THE 4Rs in ACTION

Our new 8-minute video features teachers, principals and kids who are integrating our top-ranked SEL program into their schools.

Washington Post cites our 4Rs Program! 

The piece describes some of the great work underway at PS 307 in Brooklyn: "Faculty members say lunchrooms and hallways are calmer, teachers and students interact better, and suspensions have dropped....Programs such as The 4Rs give [CASEL President Roger] Weissberg hope that Congress will revisit SEL legislation. “This is the future of education,” he says. "Believing self-control predicts success, schools teach coping," Andrew Reiner on April 11, 2013 

For more info on our work at PS 307, see our interview with principal Roberta Davenport. 
 

Stand up for PAZ

New York City's childcare and after-school programs, including our award-winning PAZ After-School Programs at PS 24 in Brooklyn and at PS 214 in the Bronx, are on the chopping block  - again!  The Mayor's preliminary budget once again axes funding for the city's after-school and childcare programs.  Morningside Center is part of a major city-wide mobilization by Campaign for Children to put funding for these essential programs on more secure footing for the years to come.  Hundreds of PAZ children and their familiesare hoping that once again we will join with them to keep PAZ alive and thriving!  Please SEND A MESSAGE to Mayor Bloomberg and other elected officials to RESTORE FUNDING for PAZ and all the city's after-school and childcare programs! 

New report selects best SEL programs

The 2013 CASEL Guide selects Morningside Center's 4Rs and Resolving Conflict Creatively Program as two of the 23 most effective social & emotional learning programs.
