Program principles

In order to help educators and youth workers meet students’ fundamental needs for belonging, autonomy, and competence as well as physical and psychological safety, our programs must:

Set high expectations for all children.
Provide important and engaging learning opportunities.
Create a caring community of learners.

So that our programs will be feasible and effective when implemented, we put great effort into shaping them so that they:

Systematically scaffold teachers’ learning.
Assist the principal in providing effective leadership.
Tightly align our instructional materials with our professional development services.
