The 4th 'R' in Schools

Working with Global Source, a local school decides that the 4 R’s (Relationship, Responsibility, Respect, and Rights), will be the basis of their social and disciplinary practice—developing a more cooperative and intentional school culture. Learn more about the implementation details and successes of this model. Jonathan Garfunkel, Phil Davis

"This week's program was of the highest quality.
Every single speaker was an articulate expert
who opened doors to further study of the overall topic.
The leaders clearly know the field and resources and desire to enlarge the circle of educators who are involved in helping students
work on the real world today.
More teachers must be alerted to this amazing opportunity."
-6th grade teacher, the Overlake School, Redmond, WA
