What is Tribes?
Thousands of schools throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries have become Tribes Learning Communities, safe and caring environments in which kids can do well! After years of “fix-it” programs focused on reducing student violence, conflict, drug and alcohol use, absenteeism, poor achievement, etc., educators and parents now agree, creating a positive school or classroom environment is the most effective way to improve behavior and learning. The Tribes TLC® process is the way to do it
My Experience with Tribes:
When I was in my PSII practicum I had the opportunity to become involved in a school that implemented Tribes education. I attended a PD day that was an introductory course on Tribes. In many of my lessons I used energizers and community building activities to get my kids up and moving.
How it works
Goal:
Students
