Conscious Classrooms
Conscious Classrooms at Your School!
Conscious Classrooms is an in-school program for middle or high school youth focused on building awareness, knowledge, and skills students need to promote respect, advocate for social justice, and strengthen the learning environment in classrooms and schools. This program utilizes a Common Core and California standards aligned, critical thinking-focused curriculum that immerses students in a variety of social justice topics. Conscious Classrooms provides students with opportunities to learn healthy forms of communication, build community with one another, and have a positive impact on school culture.
