Wayfinder x DEF
Wayfinder partners with DEF to Launch New Responsible Decision-Making Module
We’re excited to announce a new milestone in Decision Education: Wayfinder, a leading K–12 social-emotional learning (SEL) platform, has launched a Responsible Decision-Making module developed in collaboration with the Decision Education Foundation (DEF).
This new addition strengthens Wayfinder’s mission to help students build purpose and belonging—while integrating DEF’s expertise in teaching how to make better, more responsible decisions.
A Strategic Partnership with Impact
This collaboration brings together the best of both organizations:
- Wayfinder offers a scalable, educator-friendly platform already used by schools nationwide
- DEF contributes a rigorous, research-backed approach to teaching decision skills that foster lifelong success
By combining our strengths, we’ve created a module that doesn’t just address student behavior—it empowers students to think critically, weigh options, and make thoughtful choices in real-world contexts.
Why It Matters Now
With growing concerns around student mental health, behavioral challenges, and disengagement, schools are looking for proactive tools that build agency, resilience, and responsibility. The Responsible Decision-Making module meets that need by helping students:
- Navigate complex social situations
- Avoid impulsive or risky behavior
- Reflect on values and consequences
- Stay engaged in their academic and personal growth
Bringing Decision Skills to the Forefront
This partnership reflects DEF’s ongoing mission to make Decision Education a core part of every student’s learning journey. Together with Wayfinder, we’re putting practical, powerful decision tools into the hands of educators and students alike—helping them meet today’s challenges and shape a more intentional tomorrow.
