Wrapping up a fantastic week w/ some of our Klein ISD Extended School Year pawtners. This group has grown leaps & bounds on their communication skills as they've worked w/ the #dogs. We ❤ the being part of their #Growth Sandy Schiffer @kirstenallman #workingdogs #SEL

It's always good to provide opportunities for pawtner sharing. Today's question: What distracts you most at school & sometimes even prevents you from getting your work done? Next step: how to deal w/ those distractions & make #pawgress. #dogs #sel @kirstenallman Sandy Schiffer

YES!!!

As we practiced accepting no & correction, we also practiced saying no, & giving correction. We 💘 this pawtner interaction that allowed everyone involved to correct what's wrong & move on. Don't expect perfection, expect #pawgress. #dogs #growthmindset Sandy Schiffer

One of the best things about working Klein ISD summer programs? Meeting incredible #TEACHers that we wouldn't have a chance to meet during a typical school yr. Teachers like Nancy Eriksen who is 100% engaged w/ her students. Proud to call her pawtner! #dogs in #education #SEL

Never have I ever wanted to shout "AMEN" so many times in such a short period of time as I did listening to @ullgrad19111 introduce himself to the Therapeutic Education Program. So excited for his leadership! #education #KleinFamily

For the first time in 11 years, Ms. Zentz won't be packing books, crates, reinforcements & 🐕s from campus to campus in Klein ISD 😢. This year her pawtners will come to her... in her own classroom 😃! #BackToSchool #SocialEmotionalLearning w/ #dogs & #StarWars Laura Henderson

Looking forward to another visit with Lindy Protasi, LSSP and our Kingwood High School pawtners today! #dogs #SocialEmotionalLearning #innovation

Benjamin Bunny was a huge hit as he helped our Klein ISD pawtners practice self-monitoring & coping strategies today! He even got to serve as a reward for pawsitive behavior! So many smiles & excitement over this fluff ball. Laura Henderson SoPrettyKittie @kirstenallman

Enjoyed cheering on our daughter and her Schindewolf Int. 🏐 team tonight. ❤ the enthusiasm and support these girls have for each other! #KleinFamily

Grateful for daughter Aspen offering to stay home to feed 🐎s, clean stalls, clean 🐇 house, feed & walk 🐕s, so Mr. Z & Ms. Z could support our son at his first Klein Collins Swim & Dive Team meet. Go Gold & Navy! (but mostly gold 😉). #WeTakeOurWorkHome #therapyanimals #BoedysMomager

Morning view from the breakfast table. These mares are ready to work with their pawtners today! #HorseTherapy #blessed #EquineAssistedLearning

When you introduce the game you got 36 years ago to your Klein ISD high school students and they make your day by answering their Ungame question with, "Peace is... being here with you and the dogs". This is WHY we do what we do! #workingdogs #SocialSkills #SEL

Enjoying #HALLOWEEN fun with Winston as we learn about personal boundaries while we practice teamwork to save Ms. Z! Our pawtners are THE BEST! Have a wonderful and safe weekend! 🕷 #DogsofTwittter #frenchbulldog #SocialEmotionalLearning #CharacterEd Klein ISD

Pretty sure Winston is the cutest pumpkin in the world. Thanks to our Klein ISD staff & students for participating in our "Tricks for Treats" walk. Laura Henderson @kirstenallman

Before formally evaluating a teacher, make sure they have been given the support, resources, encouragement, and mentoring (if needed) to be effective.

November has come & gone but our #gratitude remains. We are so thankful for our pawtners who participated in our #GratitudeChallenge & we're honored to be included on so many lists! #grateful to serve Klein ISD Humble ISD & Huffman ISD students! ❤

Cottontail loved being the main topic of our Animal Shelter project today. His "pet profile" adjectives include cuddly, sweet, potty trained, leash trained and of course very cute. #projectbasedlearning #rabbitlife instagram.com/p/Ce1mnWgPK2F/…

Just posted a photo instagram.com/p/CklWMvjLdPg/…

We took a step back to reinvent & focus on family for a while but WE'RE BACK with a more feathered & furry friends to partner with student success. Building pawsitive character 1 step at a time! #SEL #socialskills with #dogs #horses #chickens & #rabbits
