"8 to Great is the missing piece in American education today!"
- Steve Shiever, Superintendent of the Year, Oklahoma
School Districts using 8 to Great as their Social Emotional Learning ( SEL ) Program have shown immediate results including:
- Significant decrease in student bullying activity
- Improved academic achievement
- Improved graduation rates
- Fewer office referrals
- Lower drug use
- Decrease in student suicide rate
- Improved faculty morale
When 1,000 superintendents and high school principals were asked, "If you could only teach 3 things to students to help them be successful in life, which 3 things would be the most important?"
They answered:
- Self Confidence / Self Respect
- Respect for Others / Compassion
- Responsibility / No Excuses
Author MK Mueller's 8 to Great life skills curriculum and video course address all of the above.
Through 8 to Great you'll discover how to:
- Create a culture of respect and responsibility
- Teach students how to handle strong emotions
- Demonstrate communication skills for candid and courageous conversations
- Foster hope and resilience through success stories and dream boards
- Give students a simple and proven decision-making formula
"This 8 to Great Video Series is a wonderful systematic approach for social emotional learning that will empower your students and staff."
- Dr. David Geurin, Principal and Lead Learner
