“We want people to say yes not because they’re told to, but because they’re invited into something that feels right.” — Matt Hofmeister

Part 5 is all about how schools bring the Elementary Curriculum to life with flexible paths and real support.

Two rollout options: start small with a soft rollout (a few passionate staff lead) or go schoolwide with a full rollout.

Coach pathway: send 1–2 staff to our two-day Elementary Coaches Training. They return ready to facilitate, support peers, and embed lessons.

Ongoing support: National team support, reflection tools, and a staff wellness structure to make the work sustainable.

Built-in flexibility: purchase by site/grade, start with 1–2 grades, align with existing initiatives, and grow at your pace.

If you’re ready to shift culture with Strengths, and do it in a way that fits your community, we'd love to connect!

“We didn’t want to just teach growth mindset—we wanted to actualize it.”
That’s the heart of our latest post: how everyday practices help kids celebrate progress over perfection and how restorative practices bring students back to belonging. In real classrooms, that looks like simple, age-friendly tools that grow empathy, regulation, and connection.

“We’re not asking adults to implement something to students; we’re inviting them to experience it with students.” — Matt Hofmeister, Co-Author

Staff wellness & adult engagement is a vibrant piece of promoting cultures of wellbeing and connection in elementary schools. Our K–5 curriculum invites educators to learn alongside students, reflect with simple prompts, and gather in monthly small groups that build trust, belonging, and sustainable change.

When adults feel seen and supported, the whole school feels it.
