The WITS strategies help kids manage conflict and victimization, like discrimination and bullying. The WITS Programs involve schools, families and their communities to create environments that help elementary school children. There are two English components: WITS, for students aged 4 to 8\/9; and WITS LEADS for students aged 9 to 11\/12 (DIRE and MENTOR in French). Each include a range of resources, including carefully selected books with accompanying lesson plans, that are designed to achieve social emotional learning objectives. WITS is proven to be effective using its whole school approach that involves the community.<\/p>\n
The WITS strategies are easy for anyone to learn, and create a common language easily adopted by the entire community. The WITS Programs offer flexible delivery, cover many SEL curriculum requirements, and merge well with other programs. Key participants are Community leaders, who may be Elders, high level athletes, first responders, or anyone trustworthy and of prominence in the community. They help with assemblies and visit schools throughout the year. WITS also provides tools for family discussions about the strategies. Contact us to learn more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
School personnel learn to deliver the WITS Programs via our Resource Guide, 8-step Implementation Guidelines, and Educator Training.<\/p>\n
The detailed Resource Guide is included in the WITS & LEADS Core Modules. The quick reference 8-step Implementation Guidelines are included in every Classroom Module.<\/p>\n
For training, there are three options: self-paced online (comes with the school\u2019s subscription), live remote, and live in-person. Our self-paced online training, combined with our resource guide and implementation guidelines, provides educators with all the information they need to successfully implement the WITS Programs.<\/p>\n
For more in-depth training, live training is led by an experienced WITS educator. Its content includes much more about classroom use, involving the wider community, and provides school personnel with the option to ask questions and receive feedback. To book live training, contact us.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
