Project Title
For a national campaign supporting the Social Emotional and Academic Development (SEAD) Commission recommendations
Date
Jun. 13, 2019
Duration
11 months
Description
There is growing recognition of the need to attend to social and emotional development alongside academic growth, yet the field remains disorganized and inconsistent in engaging parents, teachers, and community members in the conversation and efforts. The Corporation’s prior support of the National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development (NCSEAD) enabled the report, “From a Nation at Risk to a Nation at Hope,” which illustrated broad consensus around nurturing every aspect of a young person’s development. The report also provided recommendations for stakeholders to address the social and emotional needs of young people. Building on this momentum, America’s Promise Alliance will launch a communications campaign to diffuse these recommendations among key education stakeholders and spur change in policy and practice. With support from the Corporation, America’s Promise Alliance will implement this campaign through a variety of strategic communications activities, engaging both existing and new networks.
