Hallway Heroes, offered by Chicken Soup for the Soul, provides a lesson-based approach to SEL with academic integration for English/language artsThe program offers strategies for customizing for context. This includes ‘flags’ throughout the teacher manuals prompting the teacher to adjust lessons with an equity- or trauma-informed lens to meet the needs of students.  The program is designed to be used either in the classroom or in a counselor setting. It has also been used effectively in after-school and summer school. The stories on which each lesson is based are also designed to be sent home with students so that their parents/guardians can participate. The student journals encourage open-ended writing and provide opportunities for project-based learning in the classroom and community.”
