Fremont Christian 学校 understands the pivotal role emotional intelligence plays in shaping well-rounded individuals. 这就是我们与Friendzy合作的原因, 社会情绪学习(SEL)的领先项目, to provide an enriching experience tailored for our students. After piloting the program last year and being quite impressed with the results, FCS已决定将该计划扩展到TK-12.
The Friendzy Biblical Friendship Program has an emphasis on building a healthy school culture that creates a safe environment for 学习. 精心设计的TK-12课程, 根植于圣经, aims to empower students with practical skills — such as respect, 信心, 解决问题, and communication — for navigating the complexities of emotions and relationships. Teaching friendship skills supports students in managing their emotions, improving their ability to set and achieve positive goals, 对他人感同身受, 保持积极的关系, 做出负责任的决定.
Friendzy covers a range of essential social and emotional skills. From understanding emotions to conflict resolution and responsible decision-making, the program provides a comprehensive foundation for our students' personal growth. The curriculum is divided into well-thought-out modules tailored to different age groups, ensuring age-appropriate content that aligns with students' evolving experiences.
One distinctive feature of Friendzy is its integration of online resources with real-world applications. 通过可访问的在线平台, 学生参与视频, 练习, 以及鼓励自我反省的活动. This dynamic mix of technology and hands-on 学习 forms an immersive experience for our students.
FCS teachers and educators have observed tangible positive impacts on our students' lives through their interaction with Friendzy. 我们看到学生们越来越自信, 同情, 以及应对挑战时的适应力.
“自从我开始和我的八年级学生一起使用Friendzy, 我注意到他们互相帮助更多了,我们的计算机科学老师玛雅·马修斯说. "They remind each other about Friendzy teachings or take the time to reach out if they notice someone needs help in class. They even stay a bit after the bell to put back their chairs and tidy up the classroom. That's definitely progress compared to the beginning of the year, when they used to talk over each other and rush out the door at the end of class.”
Students themselves can feel the positive impact Friendzy has had on their time on campus, 如下图所示.
