Teachers model conflict resolution skills with children, and lead children through the steps of resolving conflicts between themselves. Class meetings every morning and afternoon help each class develop as a supportive learning community. Communication skills and ethical behavior are all modeled and discussed during class meetings. Students have opportunities to share appreciations, feelings and ideas with fellow students in a supportive atmosphere and to reflect on their experiences. \u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12268 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hightechhigh.org\/htex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/01\/The-Morning-Meeting-255x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hightechhigh.org\/htex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/01\/The-Morning-Meeting-255x300.jpeg 255w, https:\/\/www.hightechhigh.org\/htex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/01\/The-Morning-Meeting-870x1024.jpeg 870w, https:\/\/www.hightechhigh.org\/htex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/01\/The-Morning-Meeting-768x904.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hightechhigh.org\/htex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/01\/The-Morning-Meeting-1305x1536.jpeg 1305w, https:\/\/www.hightechhigh.org\/htex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/01\/The-Morning-Meeting-1740x2048.jpeg 1740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/p><h3>Faculty Support and Continuing Education<\/h3><p>Explorer teachers work together to make our language and interactions with children consistent. Each teacher develops a positive classroom culture, which in turn is consistent with the school-wide culture. We see our academic curriculum, with its focus on real world projects, collaborative and creative work, critical thinking, understanding multiple perspectives, honoring student voice and choice, and service learning, as closely linked to the school\u2019s social and emotional curriculum. Regular faculty reflection and discussion of research and practice in both academic learning and children\u2019s social and emotional development help us strengthen our practices and our school\u2019s culture.<\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3>Parent Education Program<\/h3><p>Explorer offers parent education sessions throughout the year, which can help parents better understand the school\u2019s approaches to discipline and problem-solving with children.
