Why
C.A.R.E?
Because learning & teaching should be fun, simple & efficient!
In response to the many challenges in our school system, we developed the Cycle of Authentic Relevant Engagement (C.A.R.E.). After years of testing, it has proven to be an effective experiential learning method that reignites teachers’ passion for teaching and helps students thrive!
C.A.R.E. is a motivating, intuitive learning method that erases most discipline problems and engages students and teachers on an adventurous learning journey!
We can look to the future...
Like you, we believe education is critical to creating a more beautiful world, where all individuals have an opportunity to thrive and realize their highest point of contribution to society. We all know that old education systems aren't working. C.A.R.E. is here to help you transform your teaching, easily and effectively.
...by starting where we are.
Use the same curriculum you use today. Include important competencies in your students' learning—like critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, grit, and self-direction—and do it all in an authentic, place-based experience. C.A.R.E. is adaptable for use in any learning environment. You will see positive changes right away.
