MindOH! staff are routinely asked whether or not the program is

Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the ensuing mandate directing educators to
consider the results of relevant scientifically based research – whenever such
information is available – before making purchasing decisions. The following
document was drafted by a third party researcher,

Associate Professor in the Human Development Department at the California State
University, Long Beach.

How Character Education Aligns With Social Emotional Learning
Character Education (CE) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

and produce responsible and caring citizens, we must educate the whole child,
head and heart.
