Compassionate Classroom by Design
Fact: Your classroom can inspire kindness from corner to corner, and nixing mixed messages is the secret to success.

From rethinking class “pets” to establishing humane routines that build responsibility and teamwork, we make it easy to create a learning space that sends consistent, compassionate messages. Small changes can make a big difference for your students and other animals.
