Elementary educators used print-based kits with DVDs and binders, while Middle School teachers accessed a separate digital platform. The result was a fragmented ecosystem that left teachers managing siloed content and inconsistent flows across programs.<\/p>\n<p>With limited time and competing priorities, teachers felt overwhelmed having to learn the SEL lessons and teach them confidently. Without a clear, unified experience, preparing and delivering lessons became time-consuming and difficult to sustain.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge was to bring these programs together into a single, scalable digital platform that supported both kit-based and digital-first experiences, creating an experience that felt cohesive, intuitive, and empowering for teachers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771193434855{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;section-pt-none section-pb-md section-xpad-5&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1760378425935{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #fff5e6 !important;}&#8221; thb_border_radius=&#8221;16px 16px 16px 16px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Elementary Classroom Kits<\/h4>\n<p>Print-based kits required manual setup and organization, making lesson preparation time-consuming.[\/vc_column_text]\t<div id=\"thb-image-69fb1803e4c52\" class=\"caption-style1  aligncenter full  thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_elementary_kit02.jpg\" class=\"thb_image retina_size  thb-ignore-lazyload attachment-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_elementary_kit02.jpg 856w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_elementary_kit02-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_elementary_kit02-640x359.jpg 640w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_elementary_kit02-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_elementary_kit02-320x179.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1760378784932{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #fff5e6 !important;}&#8221; thb_border_radius=&#8221;16px 16px 16px 16px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Middle School Digital Program<\/h4>\n<p>The digital platform was outdated and unintuitive, creating friction for teachers when preparing and teaching lessons.[\/vc_column_text]\t<div id=\"thb-image-69fb1803e52dd\" class=\"caption-style1  aligncenter full  thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_middle_school.jpg\" class=\"thb_image retina_size  thb-ignore-lazyload attachment-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_middle_school.jpg 856w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_middle_school-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_middle_school-640x359.jpg 640w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_middle_school-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/migs47.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_middle_school-320x179.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=&#8221;true&#8221; thb_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771193603108{background-color: #fff5e6 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;section-pt-lg section-pb-sm section-xpad-5&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;][vc_column_text animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1760146574799{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>Research &amp; Insights<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;][vc_column_text]To ground the work, we partnered with Blink for early research and strategy.
