Teaching and inspiring the whole student—and the whole teacher
Since the early 1980’s, ESR has been a voice for change in America’s education system—a voice that says we must teach and inspire the whole student if we are to help all young people become active, contributing members in our communities. We offer high quality training, customized consultation and coaching, and practical, easy-to-use resources in four arenas:
- K-12 prevention, social and emotional learning, diversity education, character education, and conflict resolution programming
- Secondary school reform, redesign, and continuous school improvement
- Early childhood and after school violence prevention, social and emotional learning, diversity education, character education, and conflict resolution programming
- Sensitive and effective responses to local, national, and international crises related to interpersonal and systemic violence, including global conflicts and wars
We offer a range of services from comprehensive programs and discrete workshops to consultation and technical assistance for schools. In all cases, we’ll talk with you about your needs and customize our work to meet your requests. We have 25 years of experience working with districts, schools, early childhood centers, and after school programs in all kinds of settings, including large urban centers, suburbs, and rural areas across the country. ESR’s programs and resources have a proven track record and measurable results.
ESR understands adult development and what it takes for teachers to implement what they have learned. Our workshops are engaging and highly experiential. They feature practical tools and strategies that participants can bring back to their classrooms or work settings and use immediately. We model the kinds of learning strategies and community building activities with adults that we teach to children and young people. Participants use words like “powerful”, “engaging”, and “transformative” to describe their training experiences with us.
Our staff and consultants are experienced teachers and administrators who know how to help schools successfully implement change. We know education systems inside and out. We understand that change can be uncertain, uncomfortable, and challenging. Our goal is to support your efforts, whether you seek to strengthen qualities of character and foster social and emotional development among all young people, or create the learning environment that every student deserves.
