How You Can Get Involved with the PassageWorks Institute
Attend a PassageWorks Course: Foundation Course or Teaching Presence
Our Foundation Course provides a thorough introduction to the core practices and principles of the PassageWorks model. This course combines experiential practices with an introduction to a number of theoretical frameworks. Through these activities and discussions, we delve into the critical relationship between social and emotional learning, academic outcomes and school safety. Our Teaching Presence Course focuses on cultivating four dimensions of teaching and leading practice: open heart, respectful discipline, being present, and emotional range. Please contact our Operations Manager Liz Amore at liz@passageworks.org to be on our mailing list and receive information about our upcoming courses.
