Read the latest brief from Harmony Academy and Johns Hopkins University
Ever wonder how consistently implementing healthy learning practices influences student outcomes as they learn and grow? Social, personal, and academic development is a priority among educators and school leaders who may activate many strategies and supports, such as the Harmony Curriculum, to reach their goals.

We want practitioners and administrators to be successful, so we partnered with researchers at Johns Hopkins University to take an in-depth look at what Harmony schools experience when they use the program over time. By observing a group of Harmony Showcase Schools, researchers found out how principals, teachers, and students responded to Harmony in their first and second years of implementation. We found that teachers implemented the program more consistently and with improved implementation in their second year.

While putting a schoolwide program like Harmony into practice can be challenging, especially during the initial execution, the research in this study suggests that when schools sustain their implementation past the initial growing pains, they find even more benefits beyond the first year. Read the full research brief to learn how educators and students engaged with Harmony in both years one and two. Based on the findings, you will discover potential implications to take back to your setting to successfully implement Harmony healthy learning.
