Making Caring Common project - Harvard Graduate School of Education

Much of the work we do at Mitchell School is focused on creating a safe, inclusive, and caring environment for children to learn and thrive. Bully prevention starts in the young years when we prioritize kindness, empathy and compassion for others over personal achievement.  The research from the Harvard School of Education helps us to identify goals and suggests strategies to meet those goals. It's a great resource that we'd like to share with you too.
Please explore their website at  Making Caring Common - Harvard Graduate School of Education and connect with them through social media. Below is just a sampling of what you might learn there.

Read our report and our strategies for making caring a central part of raising children.
