  • Zoo U, (https://www.zoougame.com) for grades K-5. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education and aligned with CASEL (the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning), the game teaches and assesses six areas of SEL: 1) emotion regulation, 2) impulse control, 3) communication, 4) empathy, 5) cooperation, and 6) social initiation (leadership). It does this by presenting a series of role-play scenarios. Stealth assessment occurs as the game measures if and how long it takes the player to do the right thing.
