Schools Where We Belong
Inclusive Communities, Engaged Citizens, Healthy Democracies
Schools are the foundation of just and democratic societies. In addition to fostering academic achievement and preparing young people to be career or college ready, schools play a critical role in developing the next generation of civic actors. Fulfilling these ideals requires the integration of civic learning and social-emotional development into academic lessons within classroom environments that nurture inclusivity, equity, and engagement for all students.
Our schoolwide program, backed by decades of evidence, integrates student-centered teaching practices that embed these ideas throughout school culture and curriculum.
