The first month of school brings on a full range of emotions...excitement, motivation, anxiety, anticipation, competitive drive, you name it! It’s a time of fresh starts and new beginnings. As an educator, you know how important it is to make a great first impression. So, here are three tips you can use to make sure you are starting the school year right.

“What can I do to make my teachers want to happily return to school next year?” “Is there anything that will motivate our students to show up for class—either virtually or face-to-face?” These questions are only two of the multitude of concerns that have been voiced at the campus and district level during this year of uncertainty. For a select group of districts, the solution was found in Capturing Kids' Hearts®.

Capturing Kids’ Hearts® is excited to announce that a select group of campuses have received the Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools® award for the 2020-2021 school year. This year’s selection process began with 555 campuses and resulted in 325 awardees.

At Capturing Kids’ Hearts, we know that if you have a child’s heart, you have their mind. Our processes give teachers evidence-based methods for creating classrooms where students feel safe, valued, and empowered. By lowering our students’ level of anxiety and building the social-emotional bridge, we open minds for learning.

Capturing Kids’ Hearts is proud to recognize campuses implementing these processes with measurable results that are making a difference in the lives of students.  339 campuses have been nominated for the 2020-2021 Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School award!
