SEE Learning® implementation and planning begins by considering how to achieve the goals of the program. The outcome goals of a SEE Learning education is Awareness, Compassion, and Engagement. SEE Learning embraces a growth model, promoting the continuous enhancement of capabilities across the student’s entire educational career.
In order to achieve these goals, assessment practices need to be adopted. During SEE Learning Experiences, students will be introduced to many new concepts and skills. SEE Learning intends to expand students’ awareness about themselves and others, increase their compassion and ethical discernment, and encourage engagement in positive actions that contribute to well-being and the social good. SEE learning invites students to explore their values and their understanding of the world and their place within it. It also introduces them to concrete skills in the areas of attention, resilience, and communication. The SEE Learning curriculum is designed to facilitate students’ journey from received knowledge to embodied understanding. This process takes time, and can vary from student to student. In this way, assessing SEE Learning can be more challenging than assessing students’ abilities in language arts or math.
