Working toward kindness civility and human compassion as an integral part of the curriculum
Getting started : we have so much in common
Moving in : There are ways in which we are different. Not less than others. Not better than others. Just different

At the core : when others are not thoughtful, caring and kind
Getting focused for action : an opportunity to explore the actions of others, reflect on our own feelings and redirect our behaviors toward fellow human beings
