Tested and validated
Our curriculum has been implemented in cities across the country, in public, charter, and private schools, in advisories, electives, and content-specific courses, and with students from all walks of life. The bottom line: Our curriculum has generated repeated measurable growth in purpose and social-emotional competencies among youth.
The curriculum allows for a variety of use cases and engages students in a holistic approach to their identity, purpose, and career exploration. Each module in our purpose and SEL curriculum includes direct reference to the key social-emotional competencies identified by CASEL: Relationship Skills, Self-Management, Self-Awareness, Responsible Decision-Making, and Social Awareness.
“Purpose and motivation and agency are buzzwords that can get amorphous. nXu takes fluffy concepts and turns them into concrete steps and activities. They are very much pioneers.”
Four key concepts, one purposeful solution
Schools are charged with the task of developing students meaningfully across several developmental areas. Along with academic achievement, students need help understanding their identity, cultivating their SEL skills, defining future pathways, preparing for post-secondary transitions, and finding their purpose in life.
Rather than having four separate programs, our curriculum integrates each of these into a single, engaging, and flexible curriculum.
Modules 1 & 2: Navigating transitions
Guide students through big transitions by exploring identity and engaging in practices that build supportive relationships.
Modules 3 and 4: Finding my voice
Elevate student voice and impact by expanding beyond the self, imagining what's possible, and taking action in the community.
Modules 5 and 6: Charting a post-secondary path
Help students envision future pathways rooted in purpose and build the resources and confidence they need to pursue career goals.
Modules 7 and 8: Preparing for what’s next
Empower students to confidently communicate their values and identity with others while helping them to connect with and amplify their resilience.
