When students and teachers discover common values, they create uncommonly successful classrooms. The Classroom Experience Guide provides interactive experiences designed to help students help you to build a more respectful, focused and fun learning environment.
This research-based approach includes age-appropriate activities, discussion starters and exercises to help teachers and students:
- Create Behavioural expectations that are owned by everyone in the class.
- Live The FISH! Philosophy in a way that meets your goals.
- Build a caring community where everyone feels safe and ready to learn.
- Develop character, empathy and personal responsibility.
The Grades K-2 Classroom Experience focuses on teaching students about personal responsibility and accountability through storytelling, puppetry, art and other engaging activities. Each extension and activity is designed for the developmental level of young learners, focusing on dramatic play, role play and music. Purchase includes a Pete the Perch puppet.

The Grades 3-5 Classroom Experience is designed to let students help transform their class culture by reinforcing positive behavior support and uses inquiry-based methods. FISH! For Schools will help your students become better learners and citizens. With students growing independence and the ability to observe the world, the activities and extensions help learners hypothesize ways to improve the school experience with others—and carry out original experiments to test their hypotheses—helping to build self confidence and learning about the impact they can have on their own environment.

The Grades 6-8 Classroom Experience focuses in on helping to forge leadership skills in students as they face the pressure of adolescence.

For School Grades 9-12 will address the common concerns of students who are moving from adolescence to adulthood.)
