Summer is winding down and the new school year is already upon us. While parents are busy dusting off backpacks and shuttling their kids through drop-off lines, educators at our partner schools are feverishly working to get their years started off well. Whether they are new teachers or seasoned veterans, the first days of instruction are a critical time for teachers to lay the foundations of a successful classroom before any sort of formal learning takes place. Research shows that when “young people maintain positive school-based relationships, their learning and well-being is supported and enhanced” (Hernández & Darling-Hammond, 2024).
Through individualized check-ins, teacher and principal resilience groups, coaching, and skill-building, our staff work with educators to help them establish caring, trusted relationships with their students and build classrooms where students feel emotionally safe and supported. Read our August newsletter for some helpful strategies for centering relationships in the classroom and share them with the educators in your life.
