Today’s challenging times offer a unique opportunity to create a positive and empowering narrative for our young people.
Captains & Poets programming offers the opportunity to illuminate for students that they are whole, resourceful beings who have what they need within them to navigate their personal journeys and the world around them in a way that enables them to thrive. The program also highlights how being their best self not only serves them, but also serves others.
In this workshop, we will explore the surrounding context for this timely curriculum, learn to connect with our own Captain and Poet, and walk away with practical ideas for creating greater connection and belonging in your classroom.
