What is the Sankofa Model?
Â
"Sankofa is a word from the Ghanaian language. It's also a mythical bird that represents looking back at your past and then taking that information to propel your future. The Sankofa Model is about taking all of the successful strategies from the past and coupling that with all we know about trauma and social-emotional learning and moving towards the future..."
- Tihesha Henderson, Head of School
When a school has a healthy culture, the professionals within it will seek the tools they need to accomplish their goal of universal student achievement; they will give a school new life by overcoming the staff division that halts transformation.
Transformational School Culture
It takes a village! Our teachers, staff, families, community partners and community leaders are all in this work to ensure that our children have support wrapping around them.
