What is ConnectED?

— Where Connection Meets Transformation
ConnectEd is a comprehensive school culture transformation program that empowers a campus to build positive, inclusive learning environments through personality-based training, social-emotional learning (SEL), professional development, and community engagement.

“True Colors taught me things about life I never thought about before. It helped a lot of people understand their families and friends better. I’m glad to know about True Colors. It made a big difference in my life.”
Billie Ammerand, Student
“It has added a whole new dimension to classroom teaching…with at-risk students, this really addressed what we were looking for. From Fall to Spring, they [the students] changed their feelings about school, about themselves, about homework, about teachers, about life in general. They changed by as much as 50% to 60%.”
Bobby Little, Principal
