Invitational Education:
Theory of Practice based on Democratic Ethos Perceptual Tradition Self-Concept Theory The whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts. —Tommie R. Radd, PhD
Overview of a Guidance System
- Behavior Management – Extrinsic – what we say and do
- Self-Talk & Self-Pictures – Intrinsic – what we say and believe with what we think and feel
- Curriculum – Student Skills
- Implementation – Staff Skills
- Family Involvement – Family Skills
- Observation/Evaluation
System Components Implemented
- Congruent
- Systemic – identify all components of the System or whole and understand the relationship between components
- Slowly and simultaneously
- 3-5 year process
- The Whole is larger than the sum of the parts
The Self-Concept Series is taught to all students
- All are important and valuable no matter what they think, say, feel, and do.
- All show they are remembering their worth by making helpful choices toward themselves and others. They are responsible for helping not hurting self and others.
- All are responsible for their choices. This accountability empowers all to make improvements because of their worth.
NOTE: See Pod Cast at www.allsucceed.com
Life Lab
A way of defining the classroom as a simulation in which students, pre-K-12 and beyond, learn, experience, and apply the essential skills needed for life; the comprehensive developmental guidance system creates a life lab in every classroom through which students develop a conscious and intentional frame of reference that can be applied throughout life.
Invitational Education Formula
The Guidance System, Staff Involvement, Professional Teams or Committees
A Conscious and Intentional Plan with the skills and processes needed for a winning invitational education program.
A Life Lab of experiences needed for post-school success.
Students can develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when
- there is a plan for change that is an integral part of the day-to-day operation of a school
- there is a conscious plan to support the self-concept
development of all within a school - the perception of students, staff, and families
regarding school relationships, procedures, and
policies is communicated and modified when it is
destructive - personal, social, emotional, and behavioral skills are taught
- students provide ongoing feedback to educators as to their day-to-day experiences in school, and
- there is an intentional process for consciously creating an inviting environment for all students.

Invitational Teaching Survey (ITS)
A 43-question diagnostic class climate assessment, taken by students, which gives student input about their classroom experiences and whether they have a feeling of being “invited”; a diagnostic tool to involve students and get their input on ways to improve climate and school relationships; one indicator of ways to support staff growth experiences and plans; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of a school year through pre-post assessment; the school climate assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.
Children’s Affect Needs Assessment (CANA)
A 42-question diagnostic curriculum assessment taken by students that provides student input into their classroom guidance curriculum activity selection; a diagnostic tool to involve students and create a sense of student ownership for guidance skill implementation and change (Note: ownership occurs when students “own” a problem and admit, recognize, and acknowledge personal needs and challenges that support assuming responsibility and commitment for change); assessment questions asked in the five essential learning strands of the curriculum of The Grow With Guidance® System; one way to observe and evaluate change at the end of the school year through pre-post assessment; the student curriculum assessment included in The Grow With Guidance® System.
