Problem
Middle schools often struggle to implement effective social-emotional learning (SEL) programs due to time constraints, lack of teacher preparation, and difficulty engaging students with traditional curricula. Existing SEL programs may not provide timely insights into student behavior or offer easily accessible tools for educators to monitor and support student well-being.
Solution
Palo is a gamified, student-led eLearning platform designed to deliver daily SEL lessons in middle schools with minimal educator preparation. The platform uses a "bite-sized" curriculum delivered through interactive activities, animated social stories, video coaching, and reflective exercises to build critical life skills. Palo provides educators with a toolkit, activities, and live digital classroom monitoring, while also offering counselors early detection of behavioral trends, alerts, reports, and insights. The curriculum combines neuroscience and psychology, utilizing nudge theory, positive interviewing, and emotional check-ins.
