Classroom and Special Education Settings

Paws for Learning partners with teachers, special educators, social workers, counselors, parents and administrators to create educational experiences that empower students to meet and exceed academic standards.  While working with Paws for Learning educational assistance teams, students take part in a safe, supportive environment where they can develop positive relationships and experience respect, success and recognition.

Teachers, social workers and administrators also report that they have observed increased cooperation, compassion and communication between students.  They also report that after spending time with Paws for Learning teams, students are more calm and focused, the amount of time devoted to learning increases and the need to address behavioral issues decreases.

"After our end of the year child study meeting, I found that Paws for Learning was the only intervention we tried that really helped my student to complete his work."

"Handing a leash to a student when he or she is angry or unable to focus on schoolwork has made all the difference..."
