THE MISSION OF THE BE KIND PEOPLE PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE THE EDUCATION (CONT'D ON SCH O) ENVIRONMENT IN OUR NATION'S SCHOOLS BY PURPOSEFULLY THANKING TEACHERS AND BY EQUIPPING THEIR STUDENTS WITH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TOOLS THAT BUILD POSITIVE AND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP SKILLS.

  • BE KIND: AT THE CORE OF THE PROGRAM IS THE BE KIND PLEDGE TO HELP KIDS UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE KIND BY PLEDGING TO BE ENCOURAGING, BE SUPPORTIVE, BE POSITIVE, BE HELPFUL, BE HONEST, BE CONSIDERATE, BE THANKFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, BE RESPECTFUL, AND BE A FRIEND. THEY LEARN AND PRACTICE THE EMOTIONAL AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS NEEDED TO MAKE THESE VALUES AN INTEGRAL AND ONGOING PART OF THEIR LIVES. IT IS A POSITIVE, ACTION-BASED, INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR AMELIORATING UNWANTED SCHOOL AND PERSONAL BEHAVIOR, OFTEN MANIFESTED AS BULLYING, AND LEARN WHAT IT MEANS FOR THEM TO "BE KIND PEOPLE." BRINGING THE PLEDGE TO LIFE IS THE BE KIND CREW, A GROUP OF GIFTED YOUNG HIP HOP PERFORMERS WHO IMAGINATIVELY CONVEY THE KINDNESS MESSAGE AND CONNECT WITH STUDENTS IN CONTEMPORARY WAYS THAT KIDS FIND ENGAGING, RELEVANT (CON'T ON SCH O) AND FUN. THEY SERVE AS POSITIVE AND AMAZINGLY "COOL" BEHAVIOR ROLE MODELS FOR STUDENTS. THE BE KIND BREAK ONLINE PROGRAM PROVIDES MONTHLY LANGUAGE ARTS, MATH, AND EXERCISE ACTIVITIES THAT COMBINE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT SKILLS, HEALTHY HABITS MOTIVATION, DIGITAL RESPONSIBILITY LESSONS, AND INTERACTIVE DANCE/ MOVEMENT KINESTHETIC LEARNING VIDEOS WITH COMMON CORE STANDARDS, SEL (PER CASEL) SKILLS, AND CDC STANDARDS-AVAILABLE FOR TO ANY TEACHER IN AMERICA, FREE OF CHARGE TO USE IN THEIR LESSON PLANS.

  • THE BE KIND OUT OF SCHOOL OFFERING ENCOMPASSES AFTER SCHOOL AND SUMMER PROGRAMMING. IN THE CLASSES OFFERED THAT ARE GENERALLY 90-120 MINUTE SESSIONS, A SMALL GROUP OF STUDENTS (15-20) WORK WITH THE BE KIND CREW ON YOUTH ENRICHMENT, HEALTH AND WELLNESS SKILLS, ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT, AND PUTTING THE RELATIONSHIP SKILLS REPRESENTED BY THE BE KIND PLEDGE INTO ACTION. DURING THIS TIME, THERE IS ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BE KIND CREW TO SERVE AS MENTORS IN THE SMALLER GROUP SESSIONS AND TO GIVE INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION. THE OUT OF SCHOOL (OOS) CLASSES ARE USUALLY HELD IN SCHOOLS AND ARE ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE LATE PICK-UP AND/OR WHO WOULD BE HOME ALONE AFTER SCHOOL IF NOT FOR THE PROGRAMS BEING OFFERED TO THEM. THE INSTRUCTION IS EXPERIENCE-BASED, USING NATIONAL ACADEMIC AND CDC STANDARDS, AND USING THE BE KIND PLEDGE AS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE INSTRUCTION.
