Coaching

There are quite a few key frameworks that align with the MC2 philosophy. These often help staff as they help students their ability to live by the 5 MC2 Expectations and grow in all the habits. These are often the focus of PD opportunities for all staff.

In this section, you will find descriptions and resources for:

• Instructional Framework (TCTEF) - When designing learning for any of the four learning opportunity types, we use the Thoughtful Classroom model, described here.

• Restorative Practices - Many of our community structures use restorative practices to mitigate behaviors that harm the community. When poor choices do exist, we use restorative practices in our due process and in determining consequences.

• Think Kids - Often staff need to coach students through challenging situations and behaviors, and the Think Kids approach is a trauma-informed system that prioritizes empathic listening and collaborative problem solving.

• NDFL - When demystifying how brains work and learning preferences, we use the Q.E.D. Foundation's "All Kinds of Minds" Neruodevelopmental Framwork for Learning.
