SOREN Partner Schools
“When we have a shared language to talk about how we build culture and community in our buildings, you can feel it. It gives you a sense of hope that we can be different.”
Nicolette SmithSchool Improvement Specialist and Implementation Coach
We support schools, students, educators and families, to increase safety, significance, and belonging in the home and school environment.
Overview
Our school-based team supports schools who are looking to transform their school-wide discipline systems to shift from compliance based to more collaborative ones. We believe that through adult and student skill building, shared language, and room to practice and grow, we can co-create systems in schools where each and every person knows they are safe, they belong, and they matter.

Testimonials
“It’s really changed my thinking about why kids behave a certain way. You know we say all behavior is purposeful, but it’s really trying to dig down and see what that purpose is that has really helped me out a lot.”
“I was a classroom teacher for 18 years... all of these practices that work with children work with adults as well. Everyone wants to belong.”
“These different platforms created a sense of togetherness and belonging, which in a year where everybody felt isolated from each other...helped.”
