Participate in the “Emotion Revolution”
Facing History is proud to partner with the Emotion Revolution, a joint initiative between the Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence and the Born This Way Foundation. The goal is to drive national conversation that encourages schools to integrate social and emotional learning to build more positive school climates.
Please share this short online survey by June 12th with high school students so they can provide valuable feedback. This survey was approved by Yale University’s Human Subjects Committee and does not require parental consent. Contact emotionrevolution@yale.edu with questions.
