Bring It to
Your School.
Teens UnEdited is a six-book social-emotional program for ages 13–18, built on a 20-year leadership methodology and wired with its own measurement instrument. It's aligned to CASEL and state SEL standards, and it's designed so a pilot produces the one thing decision-makers ask for: defensible outcome data.
The wound the data keeps
naming has one antidote.
Somewhere around 15, a lot of students quietly start editing themselves down to fit the room. It reads like growing up. The research says otherwise: authenticity drops sharply as teens become young adults, and the strongest protective factor across every measure isn't a filter or an app. It's belonging: being in rooms where the real version of a kid is seen and wanted.
That's exactly what a classroom can build. Teens UnEdited gives you a structured, standards-aligned way to build it, and, unlike most SEL content, a clean way to prove it worked.
Six books, mapped to CASEL.
Each book targets specific competencies, so you can slot the series into an existing SEL scope or run it as its own. The Unedited Index maps to all five.

Boards call SEL soft.
The data disagrees.
The largest meta-analyses of school-based SEL come from Durlak and colleagues (2011) and the updated Cipriano and colleagues review (2023). Together, covering hundreds of programs and hundreds of thousands of students, they find well-run SEL produces roughly an 11-percentile-point gain in academic achievement, alongside improvements in behavior and wellbeing. Teens UnEdited puts a measurable, identity-first program on top of that foundation.

Four steps to a
fundable result.
The same three-minute Index that draws students in is also your measurement tool. Run it on both ends of a unit and the change is your data.
Baseline
Students take the Unedited Index once, privately. No grade, no names required. That's your starting line.
Teach
Run the unit (one book, a few, or the full arc) with the companion and, if you want, the free live sessions.
Re-measure
Students take the Index again after the unit. The shift between the two is the whole point.
Report
That change is your outcome data, the piece that turns a classroom pilot into a result you can publish and fund.
A teachable program,
not a reading list.
The six books
A complete SEL arc for ages 13–18, from agency (making your own breaks) to conviction (meaning what you say).
The Unedited Index
A private, three-minute check-in that doubles as your pre/post measurement instrument. Maps to all five CASEL competencies.
The living companion
The Record + Signature: one workbook a student keeps across all six books, so the growth is visible and portfolio-ready.
Free live sessions
Four 60-minute online sessions built on the first four books, a low-lift way to pilot before you commit to a full unit.
Educator materials
Scope, sequence, and facilitation notes so any teacher or counselor can run it.

Not a sales funnel. Just a short call to scope a pilot for your classroom, school, or district.
Some educator materials are still in development ahead of launch. A call is the fastest way to see what's ready now and shape what's next.
Credible enough to take
