Mission: The center for the collaborative classroom is dedicated to students' growth as critical thinkers who learn from, care for, and respect one another.
Programs: The center for the collaborative classroom provides a complete k-6 literacy program that gets to the core of what is needed to enhance instructional practice in reading and language arts classrooms throughout the united states. Our suite of integrated literacy programs effectively motivates all students to learn and master basic literacy skills while also learning to think deeply about what they read and write. In addition, our programs facilitate students' acquisition of social and emotional skills as a seamless part of academic instruction and establish classroom conditions in which all students are able to form supportive relationships with one another and their teachers.
the caring school community (csc) program is an approach to creating caring school environments that support students' character development and academic learning by building supportive relationships among students, teachers, and parents and by guiding students' ethical, social, and emotional as well as academic growth. Csc strengthens students' connectedness to school - an important element for increasing academic motivation and achievement and for reducing violence and delinquency. Schools which have implemented the csc program have experienced measureable gains in reading and math scores as well as an environment within the schools where students display an increased level of empathy and cooperation that carries over into academics.
our after school programs offer reading, mathematics and science enrichment programs to promote both academic skills and social development. These programs have been introduced into over 1,000 after-school sites nation-wide.
