PassageWorks Institute

At PassageWorks Institute, there is a clear and constant focus on the holistic development of all learners—educators and students alike.

PassageWorks seeks ways to “collaborate with teachers and school leaders to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that create safe, meaningful, and engaged learning communities that respect and honor the diverse views and experiences of students, families, and educators.”

All of their activities are guided by their “Engaged Teaching Approach”—a relationship- based approach that “integrates social, emotional, and academic learning; promotes mindfulness; and assists educators to develop and sustain their own authentic and reflective teaching practices.” They offer courses, workshops, school-based professional learning, curricular resources, and publications; and support field-based initiatives across the country. In addition, over the years, they have both published books, articles, and videos on their approach and collected a vast library of mindfulness resources—which you can also explore on their Pinterest!
