Each week emphasizes a core Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competency, including:

• Week 1: Self-awareness

• Week 2: Social awareness

• Week 3: Self-management

• Week 4: Relationship skills

• Week 5: Responsible decision-making

• Week 6: Reflection & celebration

These SEL themes are reinforced through gameplay, journaling, breathing exercises, and classroom discussion.

The implementation plan follows a 6-week rotation, with each week focused on one level of the JAW game and a corresponding SEL strategy from the JAW Zen toolkit. Educators rotate through the levels in cycles—either by class, grade level, or small groups—ensuring that all students receive consistent exposure to SEL lessons, game-based learning, and reflection activities.

Yes. Each quarter includes one full 6-week rotation, followed by a 2-week buffer period for:

• Assessment and progress monitoring

• Catch-up lessons for absent or transfer students

• SEL celebrations or student showcases
  This makes it easy to align the JAW Zen implementation with grading periods and school calendars.

Transfer-in students can begin at any point in the rotation. The JAW Zen system is designed to be flexible and modular:

• Students can enter at the current week’s level

• Prior lessons can be assigned as catch-up during advisory, intervention blocks, or SEL periods

• Educators can use summary versions of earlier levels to help new students quickly integrate

Yes! The plan supports schoolwide or classroom-level implementation. You can run the program by:

• Grade level teams (e.g., all 3rd grade classes in sync)

• Advisory groups

• Rotation models (e.g., every class takes on a level per week)

This approach promotes consistency and collaboration across the school.
