The Research
We use innovative methods, and they have been proven to work by research.
Emotional literacy
"Emotional literacy programs improve children's academic achievement scores and school performance. This isn't an isolated finding; it has been replicated in various studies." (Goleman, 2021, Harvard PhD)
Effective learning
Emerging studies indicate that engaging in higher-order thinking enhances the development of prior knowledge schemas more effectively and profoundly compared to lower-order thinking (Liu et al., 2021).
Breaking the efficiency time-trap
Research indicates that students who have difficulty engaging in higher-order thinking struggle to interact with course material at the expected depth of knowledge in their program (Zoller, 2016).
Growth mindset
Mistakes are the inevitable part of the learning process. School children with growth mindset endorsement performed with higher accuracy after mistakes (Schroeder et al., 2017).
Higher-order thinking
After implementing higher-order thinking, findings demonstrate statistically significant gains in students' academic achievements and proficiency (Teemant et al., 2016).
Enhanced productivity
"People with well-developed emotional skills are also more likely to be content and effective in their lives, mastering the habits of mind that foster their own productivity; people who cannot marshal some control over their emotional life fight inner battles that sabotage their ability for focused work and clear thought." (Goleman, 2021, Harvard PhD)
