School Provides a Foundation to a Lifetime of Knowledge
Anansi Charter School, Taos, New Mexico
Anansi Charter School’s mission is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where children of all races, creeds, religions, and special needs develop a love of learning and acquire a strong foundation on which to build a lifetime of knowledge. Anansi is an Ashoka ChangeMaker School whose community is based upon trust, communication, empathy, and a non-punitive educative approach to school discipline. Emotional intelligence is an important pillar of the school: they use RULER, Six Seconds, and the Love and Logic model to support social emotional competency. Academic units at Anansi culminate in a service project that the students design themselves, allowing them to cultivate critical thinking and leadership skills.

My entire thesis focuses on this aspect. I see nothing but research like this when I read through a few journals. You are right. It does work. It is good to see educators supporting the research.
