Where this fits your priorities.
CR-SE
Kits built around your scholars’ identities and neighborhood support culturally responsive-sustaining practice in daily learning and shared spaces.

Builds put geometry, ratio and measurement in the hand. Scholars manipulate what they are reasoning about, then defend their choices out loud.
SEL competencies
Self-awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision-making and perseverance. A build that fails gets rebuilt.
