Capturing Kids Hearts Monthly Info
CKH Family Survey
Jackson Staff has worked hard this school year to implement Capturing Kids Hearts.
Capturing Kids Hearts is an immersive, participatory experience. Teachers, staff, and administrators learn and practice skills they will use and model in their classrooms, schools, and districts, including:
How to build meaningful, productive relationships with every student and every colleague.
How to use the Capturing Kids’ Hearts EXCEL Teaching Model to create a safe, effective environment for learning.
How to develop self-managing, high-performing classrooms using team-building skills and a Social Contract.
As a campus we are always open to growing. We ask that you take the time to complete a Family Survey for us to gain insight into how CKH implementation is impacting our campus culture and climate.
