Implementing SKY at a Government Level
Governmental bodies around the world have legislated measures for improving mental health, implementing social emotional learning, uplifting human values, promoting crime prevention, addressing youth suicide and building anti-violence programs in schools, but do not have the tools to fulfill these mandates.
Here are two leaders who have found an answer:
“We know there is a mental health crisis in both students and teachers. In the last 4 days we could see a solution. The SKY Schools program is a part of what we were looking for.”
After completing the SKY Educator Course with 50 educational leaders:
A month later the State of Bahia signed an agreement to build SKY into the curriculum of ALL its schools.
Ney Campello, Superintendent of the Education Department of Bahia, Brazil
“Today was uplifting and insightful; it was beautiful to see amazing human beings having fun and getting back to what really matters, being a great human being. This is the model for education.”
After bringing the SKY Educator course to all teachers in his school:
Dr. Mario Santos, Principal of East Side High School of Newark, New Jersey,
SKY provides tools for social transformation
In addition to serving students, SKY Schools impacts teachers, parents and even the police. Every member of the community benefits.
It creates social transformation in society, starting with youth at the developmental stage when they are forming habits for the rest of their life.
