It has been a pleasure meeting with many of you to learn more about your community and work. Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with Craig and Dana from Learn4Life. Learn4Life gives students control of their learning! Students enjoy personalized learning through one-on-one attention in a safe, secure learning environment. They currently serve over 60,000 students nationally who are primarily in high school. To learn more about this remarkable cooperative member, you can visit https://learn4life.org/program...-informed-education/.
They also have researched and created a trauma-informed framework for schools called the Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC). They utilize five core principles to lead schools through the process and journey of truly becoming trauma-informed and resilient. The five principles are:
- Equity, inclusion, and empowerment
- Love and compassion
- Growth mindset and intrinsic motivation
- Relationships
- Mindfulness and self-reflection
The program has become accredited and has supported over 6,500 students in a resiliency program, provides over 200 hours of professional learning sessions, and has seen 10%-20% academic gains from students who have participated.
