• The idea for this curriculum is to provide a proactive approach to behavior hoping that it will lead to less disciplinary issues including suspensions. 
• The teachers use this curriculum for the first 30 minutes of each day. 
• This curriculum is developed on the premise that in order for scholars to have success academically, socially and behaviorally in, out of,and beyond the classroom, they need to be grounded in the five core social and emotional competencies; cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self control (C.A.R.E.S.).

• One aspect of this curriculum that Mr. Vaughn spoke about is emotional recognition. During the assessment, the scholars are asked to indicate the emotion shown on a face. 
• Another area of development is social perspective-taking. During this section, the scholars are asked to listen to a narrated story and then answer questions to infer a character's thoughts, feelings, or intentions.
• The assessment varies K-3rd and 4th-8th grade.
