American Paradigm Schools are Caring School Communities.
Relationships are the foundation of classroom and school life and underpin teaching learning and prosocial development. Building relationships and fostering students sense of community are a critical part of our work at APS and as such we have partnered with the Collaborative Classroom to implement the Caring School Community Model in all of our schools.
Caring School Community model builds positive classroom and schoolwide communities while developing students social and emotional learning (SEL) skills and competencies. It is designed to help students become caring responsible members of their school communities and ultimately to grow into humane principled and skilled citizens of a democratic society. The lessons in the program help faculty and staff create a warm safe and disciplined school environment where all community members can develop the skills and dispositions they need to interact constructively with others.
