ConnectEd Classrooms Partnership Program
The ConnectEd Classrooms Partnership Program, launched in 2022 and piloted in two independent schools during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years, is a full year commitment. The ConnectEd Classrooms brain-aligned approach allows teachers and administrators to create a culture of regulation in their school community leading to positive outcomes for staff, students, and families .Through hands-on classroom support and weekly guided mentorship, ConnectEd partners with school communities to foster a holistic approach to student growth. ConnectEd Classroom partnership includes:
ConnectEd Classroom Kick Off Professional Development
Weekly teacher mentorship and collaboration opportunities
“The Power of Self Awareness” - A Tier 1, 15-week comprehensive program including live lessons, engaging activities, and practical ConnectEd tools designed to enrich the classroom and extend learning into the home, creating a cohesive, whole-child approach
Tier 2 “PlaySmart” social cognitive groups
Family education
Measured school wide outcomes
ConnectEd Classrooms complements, rather than replacing, schools’ adopted SEL curriculum and RTI/MTSS programs. Early outcome data highlights improved emotional regulation awareness in students grade K -5, increased teacher confidence in understanding and supporting classroom behavioral challenges, and a shifted understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of regulation.
PlaySmart! Social Cognitive Groups
ConnectEd specialists implement efficacy-based social cognitive groups for sub-groups of children on school campuses. These groups include an initial classroom observation of all nominated students, 6 to 12 weeks of small group instruction, individualized summary reports with accommodations as appropriate, and teacher wrap-up consultation. Staff partnership and collaboration is welcome in group implementation.
Community-Based Consultation
The ConnectEd Classroom team is available for individual consultation upon request. Supports have included: new teacher/staff mentorship, individualized student support, and SST professional development.
