“OST providers have many competing requirements to fulfill in their short time with students. That’s why I’m excited to share the new Harmony OST Edition. It builds the foundation yet remains flexible in its practices to create the ‘secret sauce’ to a healthy and happy environment for kids to grow and learn!” —Lauren Puzen, Chief of Strategy, Harmony SEL

We Are Thrilled to Announce Harmony SEL Third Edition Out-of-School Time Lessons Are Here!

Snuggle up with a cup of coffee — or herbal tea — and take some uninterrupted time to explore the Harmony portal and familiarize yourself with the content.

Communication is an essential part of healthy relationships. Without it, it’s difficult to learn and thrive in multiple environments.

  • Whole-body listening 
  • Conversation bloopers and boosters 
  • Using conversation “dos” 
  • Using words to tell a story 

Since these lessons are short yet substantive, they’re perfect for any out-of-school staff member, volunteers, high schoolers, education-oriented college students, and experienced OST professionals.
