EduCare creates learning environments of genuine caring, self-discovery, and empowerment with Heartset® Education for students, educators, and parents.
What is Heartset® Education?
As essential as it is to develop intellectual skills, it is just as essential to be able to manage emotions, foster and maintain healthy relationships, set and achieve goals, and make positive choices.
Similar to the way a growth mindset is a frame of mind that positively focuses one’s approach to challenges in life, a “growth heartset” is a frame of heart. EduCare's Eight Heartset Skills are woven throughout our programs and workshops for students, educators, and families.
Heartset Education creates a kind and compassionate learning environment, assisting young people to flourish in spite of life’s challenges.
The Eight Heartset Skills
Skill #1 Seeing the Best in Everyone – Honoring
Skill #2 Positively Reinforcing – Praising
Skill #3 Listening from the Heart
Skill #4 The Power of Choice – Personal Responsibility
Skill #5 Resolving Conflict
Skill #6 Moving from Judgment to Forgiveness
Skill #7 Turning Challenges into Learning Opportunities
Skill #8 Giving and Receiving
Heartset® for students
Serving over 30,000 students annually, our ACE, ACE Initiative, and Afterschool Programs incorporate the social-emotional learning principles which EduCare has employed since 1990. Heartset Education instills empathy within the learning environment, allowing students to thrive.
Heartset® for educators
EduCare incorporates core Heartset Education principles into its Professional Development Programs. By addressing the many challenges faced by teachers, school staff, and school administrators, EduCare assists in shifting the culture of schools in very specific ways – inspiring schools to create a culture of caring that addresses not just students’ needs, but those of educators as well.
Heartset® for parents
EduCare offers Parent & Family Skills Development Workshops because we recognize that youth development begins at home. Raising children is no small task – and instructions are not included. Our workshops teach strategies that create a nurturing home environment that builds a strong foundation to support their children’s academic and personal growth.
