Capturing Kids Hearts

What is Capturing Kids' Hearts
Capturing Kids' Hearts is a relationship building approach to discipline that creates self-managing groups.
 
 How does it work?
Teachers use the EXCEL model to communicate with students. Students create their own rules via a social contract. students hold each other accountable using "checks" and "fouls". An environment is created that emphasizes positivity through "good things" and affirmations".
 
The EXCEL model is used:
  • to build relationships
  • to build self-managing groups
  • to build safe classrooms and schools
