Sown To Grow
1721 Broadway Suite 201
Oakland, CA 94612
www.sowntogrow.com/
Sown To Grow is a proactive student support platform that empowers schools and districts to improve student social, emotional, and academic well-being through an easy and engaging reflection and feedback process. Designed by a team of educators for practical classroom impact, Sown To Grow offers a simple Tier 1 practice for building belonging and key life skills, with actionable pathways for identifying Tier 2 & 3 needs.
Students start with a focus on emotional wellbeing, and can expand to SEL competencies and/or academic goal-setting over time. The easy and engaging check-in routine takes less than 5 minutes to complete each week and acts as an accessible space for students to share their feelings and experiences with a trusted adult. We have been humbled by how open and honest students have been in sharing how they are navigating personal challenges and about their emotional and physical well-being. For teachers, this is a powerful relationship-building tool, as they learn things about their students they may not have otherwise known, and can respond directly to students.
Students and teachers can see their emotional well-being journey over time, while counselors, social workers, and other school leaders gain real-time understanding of student emotions and needs. Insights into which students are feeling down, reflection themes, and alerts for concerning student responses allow leaders to proactively identify and support student Tier 2 & 3 needs. This actionable data serves as the foundation for MTSS, RtI, PBIS, and community schools systems.
The system includes expert PD/training, built-in SEL pre/post assessment, supporting K-12 SEL curriculum, and academic reflection pathways, as well as powerful artifacts of student growth and implementation fidelity. Sown To Grow’s work and impact research is funded by the US Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, Digital Promise, and New Schools Venture Fund. Sown To Grow has been implemented across charter networks, districts, and schools nation-wide, and we look forward to partnering with you to support student well-being.
