In episode 4, Susan and Jill talk about the final three components of the Whole Child Approach, and how these are implemented at Columbia Academy for Learning and Enrichment (CALE). Ensuring students are engaged, supported, and challenged is imperative for student success. All educators are shouting YES to this! We will share with you how we have been intentional to include these components in our school.
In this episode, we talk about how we ensure healthy kids at CALE. We will share how we intentionally create time for health and well being for our kids. Do you ever find yourself saying, "I wish we could do this at our school...I wish we could do that at our school..." so did we. And that's why we took the plunge and said-it's time to truly build a school that is meant for kids. If you are an educator who sees a better way like we did, join us on this journey!
Our second episode launches us into talking about the approach we have taken as we have built our school. We are a whole child approach and we will talk more about this for a series of episodes as we discuss each cornerstone of what this approach means for us and our students. Today, we start with safety-both physically and psychologically. Learn how we have built an amazing culture through our intentional social-emotional work.
In our first ever episode, we introduce you to who we are, where we have been, and where we are going. We are educators. We are educators who are looking for something better for kids. We are exhausted with the many constraints put on educators and we want to create the best learning community for kids. A place filled with joy for every adult and child that enters our space. We want to educate without limits and that is just what we are doing. Join us on the journey!
