WHY "RELATIONSHIP BUILDING" IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Could a culture where every teacher, faculty and staff member, is highly trained in the art of effective relationship building, prevented the latest Florida school tragedy? Whose to say. But, overwhelming data suggests that schools that promote a "Culture of Love," fare better than those that do not.
Now, more than ever, District decision-makers have to honestly look themselves in the mirror and ask, "Am I really doing all I can do (right now) to ensure the safety of my students, faculty and staff?" In other words, am I providing the necessary resources to train my team how to identify, address, modify and redirect, challenging student behavior?
Since 2009, The Institute for Student Empowerment, has provided specialized training in the areas of, "Relationship Building and Success Strategies for Re-engaging Disengaged Students," to districts across the country. The Los Angeles Unified School District, (the second largest school district in the country), currently contracts, with the Institute, to train new, as well as, tenured teachers, faculty, staff, and administrators.
If you are serious about, "Arming" your teachers with something other than guns, consider arming your team with strategies and insights that promote the development of effective relationships.. We will provide you with a free one-hour consultation about our process and how we can help transform your campus from safety challenged to a "Village," of one for all, and all for one.

"Students don't learn from people they don't like," Rita Payne.
Very few professional development organizations, teach in the classroom, during the school-day. And, fewer still, are teachers who present, professional development. This fact, provides the Institute a great advantage, in terms of presenting real-time, classroom-ready, and teacher-friendly strategies to our partners.

We Are Still In the ClassroomThrough a partnership with Green Dot Public Schools, the Institute ,created one the few elective courses in the country, comprised solely of young men of color. Our CEO, Wes Hall, co-teaches the class, using our specialized curriculum and study guide.
The class meets, every Tuesday through Thursday, at Locke High School, located in Watts, California. Participation is limited to 10th grade students, who are experiencing challenges in the areas of attendance, behavior, and academics. The curriculum is designed to impact ages 13-19. Students receive a credit toward graduation, upon successful completion of the course. Click here to review our workshop offerings |
Through direct interaction, observation, and data-collection, the Institute is able to keep our finger on the pulse of what drives behavior among young men of color. We are able to develop innovative approaches and multi-tiered practices designed to produce successful outcomes. We, then, pass those findings and practices onto our clients through workshops, retreats, online courses (soon to come), conferences, and symposiums.
