Organization Of Interest Project Academy purpose is to make the community a better place to live and to work by providing an environment for our students and young adults learning tools to help integrate into the community. If your mission fits that we would love to share our thoughts with you. Does learning Social and Emotional (SEL) tools help? Columbia University’s Center for Cost-Benefit Analysis conducted a research study to answer this very question. Researchers performed a cost-benefit analysis on six prominent SEL programs, chosen both because of their wide use in schools and to ensure a diversity of student populations, goals, and outcome measures. Outcomes included higher lifetime earnings, improved health (mental and physical), and reduced juvenile crime. The study found that across all of the interventions analyzed, benefits outweighed the costs of the programs by a ratio of 11:1. This means that for every $1 spent on effective SEL programming, the return on investment is $11 in long-term benefits to students, schools and communities. by: Meaghan Dunham">Meaghan Dunham | March 16th, 2017 Ownership Mind-Set: Our approach is to have the young adults see themselves as owners of their own business (themselves) and understand the business & societal needs to better deal with their customer base. We provide the spirit of ownership in what they do for their customer base ( Their supervisor ) and co-workers.

Understand the writing by Mike Hammer (The Agenda) & Dr. Deming A growing body of research shows that investment in effective SEL programs and assessments pay off not only through improved educational achievement but also with long-term benefits to society such as reductions in violent crime and drug abuse–activities that cost communities a great deal of money. By helping students develop strong social and emotional skills, we are giving them the tools they need to succeed and become productive members of society–and that outcome is priceless.
