SEED: Silverquicken Episodes for Enrichment and Diagnosis
SEED helps educators identify and nurture talent through story-based activities that develop both thinking and feeling skills. We believe in the power of narrative to transform education—especially fictional stories that immerse kids in another world that empowers them to take risks and explore new ideas without fear. With defenses down, learners can tackle rigorous challenges, consider multiple viewpoints, and connect with classmates in long-lasting ways. We can’t wait for the SEED stories to enable this kind of growth for your learners!
I have no doubt this is going to be one of THE most loved things by both my students and myself that has ever happened within the walls of my teaching space.
