Fulcrum Series
Relationships are like simple machines. In Class 1 levers (think see-saws,) you can gain mechanical advantage and become more efficient by moving the fulcrum.
These modules– which can be implemented individually or as a series– will move your staff’s relational fulcrums to conserve their energy while better meeting the needs of the youth they serve. Topics include:
- The Wonderfulcrum: Challenging bias with restorative dialogue and other curiosity-centered strategies that tap back into our beginner’s mind.
- The Powerfulcrum: Amplifying youth voice in order to share power and co-create community with everyone’s input.
- The Carefulcrum: Showing up as a warm demander– being the thermostat not the thermometer– to keep youth in a space of relaxed alertness.
- The Purposefulcrum: Celebrating all identities to allow youth to connect to and shape their sense of belonging inside and outside the classroom.
- The Playfulcrum: Intentionally inviting the breath of joy into contracted spaces to expand perspectives, release tension, and spark connection.
