Networks for Schools That Heal offers independent schools an opportunity to come together to help support the social and emotional well being of the children in their classrooms. Member schools co-sponsor intensive, meaningful, professional development experiences for teachers and other core staff throughout the school year. Our Network includes up to 8 schools annually. Member schools believe that young children learn best when they can count on their teachers to understand and be responsive to the social and emotional issues that they bring into the classroom each day.
