Force Field for Good

A Year-long Kindness Curriculum for 30 minutes per Month

Kindness and self-knowledge are not explicitly written into most curriculum standards yet they are the most important qualities a child can learn in school for success in a civilized society. More than a collection of songs and lessons, Force Field for Good is an ongoing, year long, practical approach to creating a kindly classroom community of students who share a passion for self-refl ection and aspire to well being for every member of their class.
The easy to use, teacher-created lessons foster higher level thinking skills which connect to state standards and teach students how to mine deep meaning from life and literature.

Much more than an anti-bullying program,
Force Field for Good will have your students joyously singing aloud as you watch them grow into empathetic, courageous and compassionate kids who make their classroom, their school, and their community a zone of love and learning!
