Heart Based Ed

Thank you so much for your interest in Heart Based Education! I feel like I have been at this forever. I was raised in a home daycare center, that my Mother ran, with 27 other peoples children. All I know is how to care for people, and offer them opportunities to excel. I have been a professional musician my entire, life, and education has always been parallel and just as present. My professional career began in 1993, when I was hired fresh out of Highschool for a project, because of the project based learning environment I was gifted when I found myself a mother at 17 years old. This is where I realized there are all types of learning environments, and I began my love for cultivating safe and brace space environments where people can flourish. I went directly into at risk areas and schools (middle/jr/high schools) to workshop teen pregnancy, STD's and AIDS. pilot program based off of my very own curriculum. This would continue throughout the past 30 years. After the Teen Pregnancy education campaign paid for by the city I grew up in, I was hired by the Board of Ed for a new pilot project called Learning Through The Arts. This would be the foundation for my personal teaching style, tools and techniques I have been coming up with to support teachers, and students in peaceful, autonomous, community based experiences to foster self love, appreciation of others, compassion, kindness, unity, and empowerment for all. I created something called a Hook Up in 1993 that unites the right and left hemisphere of the brain for focus. I designed memorization through theater, based in the body, tools and techniques that were instructed, and verified to retain 100% memory retainment in Highschool students 9-12, with a 100% of class ratio attainment after six months! (Super proud moment for me) Since then I have worked in the cities with At Risk Youth, I have taught in public schools k-12, private schools pre k -4th, community schools all ages, homeschool all ages, privately all ages, as well as curating classes, workshops and events here in the USA, Canada, Mexico and online in over 35 countries! I love my life. After a second bout with stage 4 cancer, I came up with some techniques that I have been using for the past 25 years, to teach and guide people to their heart and inner guidance system, tools to explore self, to discover, understand, and make a plan using holistic techniques that foster empowerment, personal inspiration and buy in, and really to understand their mission and purpose. I have written 14 books on Heart Based Education, completed my Masters degree in Education, and designed, launched and trained trainers for The Center for Advancement in Heart Based Education. I know this stuff works. After 30 years of seeing all my students flourish, I can honestly say, this stuff works. I hope you will give it a shot. It is literally what everyone is asking for. And after 20 years in the International scene designing and providing water stewardship opportunities and platforms, children's advocacy platforms, and more... I literally am here in service to you. The teachers and educators. I have reached thousands if not millions of people myself, but, the children are still faced with mental health, drugs and sex in their faces, and a world that makes literally no sense. What makes sense is a connection to our hearts, and to our life purpose. We can reach more people more children, more youth together. Thank you in advance! And please do not hesitate to ask me anything! The website where we train trainer, offer self paced classes, private memberships and more is here www.HeartBasedED.org Above and beyond social emotional learning is Heart Based Education. If we are not connected to the heart, the buy in, the inspiration is not there. When we support people in getting to who they really are, what makes them tick, what inspires them.. then we are really getting somewhere, support that with tools that bring personal resonance, peace, joy, you have literally just saved someones life. So many blessings on your journey! I am learning and teaching every single day. Best, Heidi Little, M. Ed
