Kindness Resources for Educators

Welcome Educators

For any educational context, from preschool and elementary through the teen years, in schools large and small as well as home-school, our pages provide resources to supplement, complement, and support positive behavior goals. You'll find excellent resources like activity ideas, calendars and more.

In our Classroom to Community, section we feature exciting lesson plans based on real-life actions by community leaders. Our "Quick Start" feature puts lesson plans and student activities in your hands quickly.

For even more inspiration, check out our collection of fun kindness ideas.

Designing Curriculum?

If you are designing curriculum that teaches social emotional learning for your school or district to align with the new Colorado comprehensive health and physical education standards, another great resource to check out is the Teach It website at the Colorado Legacy Foundation. Check it out at colegacy.org. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is pleased to be listed as a resource partner and to have developed lesson plans that correspond to meeting the new standards.

RAK® Education Pilot Program

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation recenty revamped our kindness teaching materials in preparation for launching the Random Acts of Kindness Education Pilot Program. We selected three schools in the greater Denver metro area to launch this project. This initiative is a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning kindness in the classroom. To learn more about this great new initiative, visit the RAK Education Pilot Program page.
