Recognizing School as a Safe, Equitable, Stable Environment During Teacher Appreciation Week

Safe, equitable and stable environments are one of the Four Building Blocks of HOPE and one of the ways to mitigate ACEs. One of the most important environments for child development is school.

According to Dr. Bob Sege, when a school environment is more like a family than a factory it offers a better opportunity for children to flourish.

Teachers are an important factor in creating a family environment and helping our children flourish at school. Take some time to help us recognize teachers this Teacher Appreciation Week!
