LEARN MOREAre you struggling with classroom management, emotional competencies with your students, or keeping students engaged?
Â
These are common challenges educators face daily. In today’s learning environment, it’s not just about delivering the curriculum—it’s about fostering emotional connections, building trust, and creating an atmosphere where every student feels safe, understood, and ready to learn.
We understand the complexities of modern classrooms. That’s why we’re here to help.
Welcome to Dignity of Children®. Our mission is simple yet powerful: We empower K-12 educators to lead with emotional intelligence to create a safe, inclusive learning culture where everyone can thrive—students and teachers alike.
Why Emotional Intelligence is Key to Success?

Our products and services which use evidence-based practice are centered around growth mindset, self-awareness, and emotional safety for both educators and students.

Our experiential learning process provides educators with the tools to help youth develop job-readiness skills, information literacy and other 21st century skills.
We prepare educators for a role of facilitators and coaches who empower young people to be their best selves and use their talents to pursue their dreams.
Through our trainings and curricula, educators learn how to develop innovators who will become the next generation of leaders and social entrepreneurs.
