CASEL teams up with LG for sustainable happiness initiative

 

The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) has joined hands LG Electronics USA to launch a new science-based strategy that will help the American youth to acquire skills for sustainable happiness.

This is part of LG’s corporate social responsibility initiative called “Life’s Good: Experience Happiness.”

The platform will offer life skills and supportive learning environments to become knowledgeable, caring, contributing and happy adults, citizens, co-workers, friends and family members. “Through this partnership, CASEL will expand its great work with eight large school districts across the country to help LG reach 800,000 more students annually with systemic SEL programmes and practices that align to our Sustainable Happiness Skills,” said William Cho, president and CEO, LG Electronics North America. “CASEL’s amazing work with administrators and educators to increase awareness of learnable, sustainable social and emotional skills is in perfect harmony with Experience Happiness.”

LG will provide funding to support CASEL partner districts’ membership into the Collaborating Districts Initiative, which helps districts across the country implement curriculum, share best practices and ensure the long-term sustainability of high-quality SEL across all aspects of the school community. Under the Life’s Good: Experience Happiness umbrella, LG will also join CASEL’s 2019 National Conference, engaging 1,200 educators, scholars, policy-makers, and others committed to high-quality SEL programming for all students.

“The LG-CASEL partnership comes at a time when recognition of the benefits of SEL are at an all-time high, and a growing number of district and school leaders are seeking support in making SEL a priority for their classrooms,” said CASEL President and CEO Karen Niemi. “We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with LG to equip educators with the knowledge and tools to create educational experiences that lead to positive and equitable outcomes for all students.”

Hi there,


Thank you for visiting PICANTE News and thank you reading my articles!


I have been writing articles and explaining reports in several industries for well over a decade or so. This is why I pride myself as one of the few survivors left in the world who have actually mastered the impossible art of copy editing. During my education phase I've graduated in Physics and obtained my Master’s degree in Communication and Journalism.


Although I usually focus on social and political news, I have some favorite topics that always make me happier. These topics include writing about sports events and travel writing.


During my career I've have written for numerous websites and my in-depth analytical articles have been highlighted in top sports magazines like Cricket Today and Sports Today. I report several social, education and wordwide community releated headlines from all around the globe.

You can find my articles and editorials in the following categories:


CHARITY, COMMUNITY, EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY, BRAND AND MARKETING, CAMPAIGNS, HUMAN RESOURCE/WORKFORCE, HOLIDAYS, CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY, INSURANCE, and many more.
