How does educating to flourish interact with Shipley’s SEED program (Social, Emotional and Ethical Development)?

Educating to flourish at Shipley is, in so many ways, the natural next step in the development of our SEED program. Led by the Co-Director of Positive Education & Student Support, Dr. Sharron Russell, and a group of other PreK - grade 12 colleagues, SEED has been at the heart of our efforts to support our students both as learners and as people. Enhancing Shipley's successful SEED program was a key component of Vision 20/26, the Strategic Plan adopted by the Board of Trustees in 2016. Knowing that SEED is integral to achieving our goal of Educational Excellence (i.e. individual well-being, collective well-being, and academic achievement), we are committed to advancing our position as a recognized leader in social, emotional, and ethical development so each of our students continues to be uniquely prepared for success in all walks of life. There is no rigid teaching method for helping students thrive; rather it is a community-wide approach to developing life skills to improve well-being for ourselves, our students, and ultimately strengthening everything we already do at Shipley, including SEED.
