The mission of PAWS is to help students of varying abilities improve relationships & cultivate academic & social success through an animal-assisted experiential learning & growth-focused curriculum.โ We've had tons of pawsitive results. Plus we look pretty cute doing it! ๐พ
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/โฆ โ at Spring, TX
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 @KleinISD @HumbleISD & @HuffmanISD students! โค

Before formally evaluating a teacher, make sure they have been given the support, resources, encouragement, and mentoring (if needed) to be effective.
Pretty sure Winston is the cutest pumpkin in the world. Thanks to our @KleinISD staff & students for participating in our "Tricks for Treats" walk. @LauraDWHenderso @kirstenallman
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! ๐ท #DogsofTwittter #frenchbulldog #SocialEmotionalLearning #CharacterEd @KleinISD
When you introduce the game you got 36 years ago to your @KleinISD 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
Morning view from the breakfast table. These mares are ready to work with their pawtners today! #HorseTherapy #blessed #EquineAssistedLearning
Grateful for daughter Aspen offering to stay home to feed ๐s, clean stalls, clean ๐ house, feed & walk ๐s, so Mr. Z & Ms. Z could support our son at his first @kc_swim meet. Go Gold & Navy! (but mostly gold ๐). #WeTakeOurWorkHome #therapyanimals #BoedysMomager
Enjoyed cheering on our daughter and her @SchindewolfKISD ๐ team tonight. โค the enthusiasm and support these girls have for each other! #KleinFamily
Benjamin Bunny was a huge hit as he helped our @KleinISD 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. @LauraDWHenderso @kittie2u @kirstenallman
Looking forward to another visit with @LSSP_Lindy and our @HumbleISD_KHS pawtners today! #dogs #SocialEmotionalLearning #innovation
We FINALLY got to have @PawSuccess back with us to work on building positive partnerships and we could not be more thrilled!!! Looking forward to all of the skill and character development this will support in our students this year!!!
For the first time in 11 years, Ms. Zentz won't be packing books, crates, reinforcements & ๐s from campus to campus in @KleinISD ๐ข. This year her pawtners will come to her... in her own classroom ๐! #BackToSchool #SocialEmotionalLearning w/ #dogs & #StarWars @LauraDWHenderso
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
One of the best things about working @KleinISD 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
As we practiced accepting no & correction, we also practiced saying no, & giving correction. We ๐ this pawtner interaction that allowed everyone involved to correct what's wrong & move on. Don't expect perfection, expect #pawgress. #dogs #growthmindset @SandySchiffer
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 @SandySchiffer
Wrapping up a fantastic week w/ some of our @KleinISD Extended School Year pawtners. This group has grown leaps & bounds on their communication skills as they've worked w/ the #dogs. We โค the being part of their #Growth @SandySchiffer @kirstenallman #workingdogs #SEL
