Notice. Thank. Repeat.

Professional development designed specifically for educators — a natural fit, since teaching kids to notice the good is exactly where Hooray Squad began.

Overview

Teachers give appreciation all day. They rarely receive it.

Schools run on people who are easy to walk past — the custodial, cafeteria, office, and crossing-guard teams who make each day possible — and on teachers who pour encouragement into students without much coming back.

This PD helps a whole building build a culture of appreciation, recognize the people behind the scenes, and turn students into “noticers” who carry gratitude far beyond the classroom.
