About Spirit Series

SPIRITSERIES: A transformative drama-based core values curriculum—delivers rigorous academic intervention and character education in grades 4-7. Six historical one-act biographies celebrate some of history’s greatest heroes and the life lessons their stories have to teach us today. SERIES titles have been studied, staged and performed On Stage by over 50,000 students since the program’s inception in 2001. SPIRITCORPS: This video storytelling curriculum for grades 7-10 is inspired by the historical heroes we celebrate in the SERIES and the positive core values their lives exemplify: e.g. Courage, Compassion, Conscience. Students begin by viewing personal video stories of these virtues from staff and program friends. Participants then embark on a five-step, self-discovery and writing process culminating in a personal SpiritCorps video story of their own. Along the way, students are guided by their classroom teacher, assisted by a peer Story Partner, and mentored by a trained adult Story Coach Volunteer--offering personalized constructive feedback at three key points in the SpiritCorps journey. SPIRITWORKS: Our project-based 30-hour curriculum for educators shares the aims and methods used by SERIES staff to obtain exceptional classroom results. We start from a simple premise: creating transformative outcomes with students begins with ourselves. In this two-phase program—built around the SpiritWorks Leadership Model—participants expand their capacity for inspiration, empowerment and mastery, thereby becoming more fulfilled in their work…and their lives. Part One—a two-day Summer Institute—builds community as it introduces the SpiritWorks Model, while Part Two—the Practicum—puts the Model into classroom practice during the school year.
