“As a teacher, I have used many programs, resources and online training to cover the social and emotional part of the curriculum. Nothing has come close to providing the coverage or quality of this resource…”
“…I have been using the Culture of the Heart for nearly three years and it has changed both the way I teach and the way in which my class interacts with others. It creates a kind and supportive environment with calm, well-rounded children and staff. We were lucky enough to be in the pilot scheme where I used it with my own year class. The children were an average mix of abilities and social backgrounds, including SEN.
At the end of just one term, my classroom had changed. Children were calmer, more settled and kinder to each other. It created a safe place where children were able to be themselves, without judgment, and explore their feelings and thoughts.
The Culture of the Heart is now part of my whole classroom practice…"
