EMS Utilizes the following PSR Programs:
Character Strong
Character Strong: "When We Teach The Whole Child, The Whole School Benefits."
More than a curriculum - it's a culture. The research shows that when a school takes time to cultivate a culture of character and develop social-emotional skills, grades go up and bad behavior goes down. It makes sense - when kids feel safe and supported, they perform better and WANT to be there. When students learn the value of kindness, service, and empathy, they don't just walk out of school being competent at math and science - they walk away being capable, compassionate people. And couldn't we use a few more of those around? 6th, 7th, 8th grade Scope & Sequence |
