Structure
Merging mindful meditation, journaling, workbooks, art projects, interactive exercises, and group conversations, the curriculum is engaging, interactive, and kinesthetic. Each topic is broken down into clear, detailed lesson plans, so that teachers can integrate the program into their unique classroom settings.
HiEQ employs the teaching structure “I-do,” “We-do,” “You-do” to create a collaborative learning environment. It includes hands-on activities relevant to real life challenges that students face every day in school, at home, and in their communities. Lessons adapt easily to a variety of core subjects, particularly health, social sciences, and the arts. Activities include both group and individual instruction and are designed for diverse learning styles. Each topic culminates with a meaningful “Call to Action,” giving students the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned by using technology to facilitate positive change.
HiEQ includes eight topics that range from 90-170 minutes with SEL exercises and activities, creative arts, journaling, and guided meditations. Each topic is typically taught over the course of a one or two-week period and can be integrated into a variety of lesson plans.

HiEQ Student Journal
Students work in their own personal journal to guide them through the process and track progress. Students refer to their journals for learning and reading, writing journal entries, clarifying objectives and summarizing lessons. They will find funny definitions to mind boggling emotions, social media Calls-To-Action, poetry and inspiring imagery. The student journal serves as a reflection of the inner work they do as they align their core values and beliefs with their goals and intentions.
