Engaging Schools

Engaging Schools is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with educators in middle and high schools. We help them create a schoolwide community of learning that integrates academic, social, and emotional development — and prepares each and every student to succeed. We offer professional development and resources with practical strategies that are grounded in the values of equity, community, and democracy. The result: educators who can better engage their students — and students who are prepared to make positive contributions in school, work, and life. Engaging Schools’ core services for middle and high schools are- Engaged Classrooms - Schoolwide Discipline and Student Support - Advisory Plus Through these research-based services, schools strengthen teacher effectiveness; develop a systematic, positive approach to school discipline that is integrated with student support; and create effective advisory programs. Engaging Schools offers additional programs for middle and high schools on bullying, peer mediation, conflict resolution, and diversity. And we continue to provide our highly regarded Resolving Conflict Creatively and Adventures in Peacemaking programs for early childhood, elementary, and afterschool providers. All of our work with schools is conducted by our consultants. These individuals are former teachers and administrators who have deep experience managing organizational change and supporting districts and schools in their efforts to build healthy school culture, improve school climate, and transform educational practice.
