In just four weeks, Lower Yukon School District's Summer School program demonstrated the transformative power of Kikori's experiential social-emotional learning (SEL) approach. Students flourished, attendance surged, and educators embraced innovative teaching methods with fervor. This case study illuminates the profound impact that joy-filled, SEL-focused education can have on student engagement, attendance and academic success. As we delve into these results, we ask you the reader to consider: If we were able to impact students and educators significantly over four weeks, imagine what we could do throughout an entire school year!
