This program couldn’t have come at a better time
in the midst of the pandemic. When our teachers implement the
Capturing Kids’ Hearts processes with consistency, sustainable
transformation can be seen, heard, and felt on campus.
The year started off with a two-day training for all of our staff.
Within this training is where we learned the processes of the
program and the reasoning behind these processes. Teachers have an
enormous opportunity to positively influence students through their
actions, thus increasing desired student motivation and behaviors.
When students experience great teaching and high levels of
competence within their teachers, they are more apt to mimic these
behaviors and to begin their journey into developing self-efficacy.
Add a process where teachers model and teach SEL skills by classroom
immersion and a new positive culture begins to emerge.
CKH is embedded within staff professional development opportunities
provided in-district.

In the pictures shown, teachers and support staff
worked in groups to solve a challenge posed with limited
instructions. Through this process, they were building relationships
with others they don’t usually interact with, while also
collaborating and problem-solving. They then reflected on how these
components can be applied at all ages within the classroom setting.
