WHAT WE TEACH

Teaching Strategies

We believe that all children deserve a nurturing, engaging, and high-quality learning environment designed to support their unique needs throughout the critical, formative years. 


Teaching Strategies help early childhood educators build this environment and provide the foundation for success for every child by connecting teachers, children, and families to inspired teaching and learning experiences, informative data, and stronger partnerships through the leading early learning platform and solutions.

Conscious Discipline

Evidence-based Social and Emotional Learning


The methodology of Conscious Discipline is based in scientific and developmental research. It is recognized by SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP).


Conscious Discipline creates a compassionate culture and facilitates an intentional shift in adult understanding of behavior via the Conscious Discipline Brain State Model. It then provides specific brain-friendly, research-backed strategies for responding to each child's individual needs with wisdom. This highly effective approach is proven to increase self-regulation, sense of safety, connection, empathy and intrinsic motivation in both children and adults.

Heggerty

By empowering educators, we can give every student the opportunity to become a lifelong reader.


In 2003, Dr. Michael Heggerty saw his students struggling to read and it was at that moment that Heggerty was born. What started as a home-grown solution has now grown to become the #1 phonemic awareness curriculum, helping more than half of all school districts in the United States improve literacy scores and children's phonological awareness. It is our honor to continue Dr. Heggerty's work, evolving our curriculum and resources to provide elementary educators with the very best tools to help them encourage a love of reading in all children.
