Educating Hearts: Anchorage School District
My niece is currently a teacher at the High School and she sent this link to her family for us to watch.
I am VERY impressed with what the teachers and staff are doing for these kids. I wish ALL schools would adopt these principles and have them available to help our kids of today, who many of which are living in troubled homes.
I am proud to have a family member who works in this system and applaud the Anchorage School District!!
Getting the video to play
To Anonymous:
I'm sorry that the video isn't playing all the way through for you. I had no trouble viewing it. Watching video on the Internet is most effective if you have a high-speed Internet line such as cable or DSL.
Change of Heart
I am both a student at East Anchorage High School and a trainer for the program Change of Heart at the school. I just wanted to thank the George Lucas Educational Foundation for putting this up. This progream has definitly made a difference in the school district's environment, and I know for a fact that because of these curriculum changes and adaptations, students feel safe and at home in their schools, which makes for more learning.
What a wonderful story. They really spent a lot of time planning and organizing the curriculum. It seems to have paid off.

Fantastic! Vicky, Jan, Julie, Daryl, Stan, Janie, Trudy, Chris, Mike G, Carol...WELL DONE! I know all the hard work that has gone into these programs (AVB & COH) and I know it is working! Both of my kids attended and graduated from the Anchorage School District and approve of these programs. When our children approve and use programs like these, it makes a difference! KEEP IT UP! To Michael and the rest of the SDFS staff: you should be very proud of the work you have done and continue to do. I am honored to have been a small part of your work and lives.
