Programs
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, “by 2023, students of color will represent nearly 55 percent of K-12 students in public schools,” which means school communities are continuing to become more diverse than ever. We must adapt to this shift in demographics by implementing new systems and a culture for learning. Campus Unification advocates for the implementation of student-centered learning and student-advocacy approaches which are both proven to improve cultural proficiency, critical thinking skills, classroom culture, and self-esteem. Our programs are custom built for schools to identify and create a support system around departments and restorative justice efforts. These efforts, programs and systems will prevent inequity and allow opportunity for growth and care for each student.
Below are some examples of custom programs that Campus Unification designed to help a school achieve specific cultural proficient goals.
Affinity group Leadership
Affinity group leadership is a social justice group made up of the leadership of a schools social and cultural clubs. The purpose of the group is to help hold a campus accountable for equity and inclusion by raising awareness concerning the cultural and social issues of its affinity groups.
Hello
Hello is a mindset and training for school leadership and faculty to help cultivate healthy campus and classroom norms and culture. It promotes student-advocacy and peer support by encouraging students and their teacher to break down social barriers by consistently and respectfully acknowledging each other over a semester. Hello encourages acknowledgment, from saying “HELLO” while passing through campus to helping teachers and students work together to create a safe, engaging, and productive classroom environment.
Peer leadership
PEER Leadership (PEER) represents different Student Leadership groups recognized by the school. PEER validates the value a school has in its student leadership and peer-to-peer service, and creates more possibilities for its diverse student population to be involved. It seeks to encourage group collaboration and spark interest and recruitment across groups for support.
restorative council
Restorative council is a multimodal process for facilitated group share that is customizable for various stakeholder settings.
Take 10
Take 10 is for schools who have a large number of students who use public transportation to travel long distances. Take 10 allows students arriving either at or after the bell rings an opportunity to grab breakfast, use the restroom, have access to a computer and printer, or simply take a 10 minute break from their long commute. This program allows students to transition from a long and/or difficult trip, into the start of their academic portion of their day.
