When schools need help reshaping curriculum and culture to change systemic inequities and empower teachers and learners, they turn to a different solution.
The folks over at the Harvard Graduate School of Education find that "an effective social-emotional learning program has to be a whole-school initiative."
Incorporating social and emotional learning skills to reframe language, behavior expectations, and the fundamentments of education creates long-lasting echoes into home life and our community at large.
How We Do It
Our unique approach to education
We operate on the 4-C Learning Method:
Calm Body, Calm Brain: Using the Ten Breaths Away breathing method to train our brain and bodies to encourage mindful self-regulation with this anxiety reducing technique
Communication: Carefully designed with Trauma Informed and Non-Violent Communication Techniques; asking questions with curiosity rather than contempt
Collaboration: Life is one big group project and we might as well get used it; how to work together like a seasoned theatre troupe
Self-Confidence: Empowering everyone to speak up, stand out, and make difference
Designed to empower the learner as well as the teacher, the Whole School SEL program is the result of 30 years stage experience, 20 years teaching everyone from preschoolers to prisoners, and the lifelong pursuit of knowledge across many areas, particularly where the arts meet science and humanity.
