The Power of Humane Education

The Power of Humane Education

Thanks to generous new funding, InnerAct Alliance is excited to offer schools and organizations in Polk County an impactful new humane education program for children. Lessons include instruction by a humane educator using high quality, age appropriate literature, critical thinking techniques, and activities that reinforce healthy ways to interact with peers and promote animal welfare. There's also a fun option to bring live or stuffed animals in as part of the presentation and discussion to enhance learning outcome.

The Benefits of Humane Education

* Violence and bullying reduction by using live or stuffed animals to promote responsible, healthy decision-making skills

* Literacy lesson with high quality literature fosters young children's natural curiosity and affinity with animals to build compassion and respect

* Post-reading activities promote and strengthen academic engagement and prosocial behaviors of peers

These impactful discussions at a young age assist a child's ability to create real and interesting pathways for learning. The positive effects may reach far beyond the classroom into the home, across our community, and throughout our world!
