Social and Emotional Learning is changing the education landscape, giving students a real opportunity to flourish by making social and emotional learning explicit.


Resilient Scholars Program

The Urban Assembly Resilient Scholars Program (RSP) is an integrated social-emotional learning model specifically for middle and high school students. RSP uses a whole-school, three-year embedded model where schools learn how to organize themselves around the principles of social-emotional development.

These concepts focus on building students’ confidence and self-awareness and promoting general social competence by helping students develop the skills to reason through a wide variety of social and emotional situations. The UARSP model consists of three main elements: direct instruction to students; schoolwide implementation, integration, and sustainability; and assessment of student progress.

Strong Resilient NYC

The Urban Assembly is thrilled to partner with The New York City Department of Education and Aperture, to bring the DESSA, a strength-based social and emotional learning screener to students across New York City. In this partnership, we offer access to the Resilient Scholars Portal, a guided intervention program, to support all students in the 2021-22 school year.

As part of a district-wide focus on social and emotional needs, we are prioritizing the support of student wellness across the city. To do this we are implementing the DESSA, and giving educators access to Urban Assembly's Resilient Scholars Portal for guided intervention supports. 

With the data from the screener, we will help our students develop these essential skills by using targeted, highly responsive support to each individual student.
