What’s It Like? 

inspirED’s activities vary in duration from 10-minute exercises to one-hour lessons to project-based activities. The activities page also provides resources from CASEL (the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) and maps these activities to the five core social and emotional competencies: relationship skills, responsible decision making, self-awareness, self-management, and social awareness. Resources are also presented with each activity, including TED talks, news articles, Edutopia resources, and research articles linked to that specific strand.

Price: Free

Grades: 8-10

Rating: 4/5

Pros: Activities are age-appropriate, direct, and powerful and vary from one-minute to unit-long projects.

Cons: The accountability piece may be missing for teens who use the website independently.

Bottom line: inspirED delivers exactly what it claims: empowering, easy-to-search content for social and emotional learning.
