How are you promoting positive childhood experiences (PCEs) in the classroom? Use the Four Building Blocks of HOPE to welcome your new students!

Start with a simple checklist that outlines your focus for each Building Block: Relationships, Environments, Engagement, and Emotional Growth.

Here's an example to get you started!

✔️ Relationships: Arrange desks in a way that promotes new friendships!
✔️ Environment: Decorate your classroom in a way that represents diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and genders.
✔️ Engagement: Explain all the available extracurricular activities offered at the school.
✔️ Emotional Growth: Create icebreaker activities that encourage students to come out of their shell.

Learn more about incorporating PCEs as an educator with our free HOPE Toolkit for Educators ➡️ https://buff.ly/kQCcCIY
