Social & Emotional Learning
With new standards from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to support Social and Emotional Learning in the classroom, Writers Matter teachers developed special resources that can be adapted for all grade levels. These resources are aligned with the trauma-informed care lens that has been a hallmark of the Writers Matter approach.

2021-22 RESET Curriculum
At the conclusion of the 2020-21 school year, the Writers Matter teachers gathered to reflect on the year that had passed and the role Writers Matter had in supporting students directly impacted by the challenges the year brought. A team of teachers collaborated throughout the summer of 2021 to create a new RESET curriculum that builds on the previous curriculum while addressing the specific and unique needs of the 2021-22 school year.

2020-21 RESET Curriculum
Amidst the early challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the uncertainties surrounding the 2020-21 school year, Writers Matter assembled a team of educators to revamp the curriculum for 2020-21. Recognizing the necessity for adaptation in a largely virtual learning environment, the teachers collaborated to create a tailored curriculum focused on writing. Understanding the profound impact of recent disruptions on students, the program aims to help students “RESET” to school life by addressing their unique needs and experiences.
