Sanford Harmony

About Sanford Harmony

The Sanford Harmony is a social-emotional teaching program that cultivates strong classroom relationships between all students.  The goal of Harmony is to incorporate specialized teaching strategies into classroom activities—from preschool through sixth grade—in an effort to reduce bullying, and help develop the youth of today into tolerant, compassionate, and caring adults for the future.  It is a series of innovative relationship-building teaching strategies designed to strengthen understanding and communication between children. It also creates inclusive classroom communities, where teaching takes priority over resolving personality conflicts or issues among students. Students are taught meaningful and productive ways to interact and express themselves, which are irreplaceable skills that will last a lifetime.

Harmony can be easily incorporated into lesson plans in as little as five minutes a day, and is aligned with Common Core state standard, national, and district learning initiatives. (www.sanfordharmony.org)
