are you and your family or families you work with

The S.A.U.C.E. Framework
From family experiences with farmer grandparents and civil rights activist parents, work and community experiences and social justice research, Dr. Mapp understood that living, learning and our families are linked and impacted by historical, political, educational and social forces.
This understanding requires a holistic approach so interconnections are made across many topics that sometimes
are not referred to, even though they are connected,
while learning from wise research and the past. She always used these details as something extra that was
added to her family life and work for improved outcomes.
This was like addding extra sauce to food to improve its flavor.
This was later developed into the S.A.U.C.E. Framework to Speak and Act on sometimes Unspoken but Connected topics to Embrace change more confidently.
Recognizing that families are children's first teachers and the smallest social units, we help families disrupt patterns that hurt well-being and keep learning from taking place. We encourage parents and older siblings still living at home to consider using our resources to help prepare children, but also to close their own learning gaps that may help in work situations and to possibly improve financial security, too.
When children see parents working to improve, its easier to improve their academic performances and behaviors. Plus family emotional, physical, mental and spiritual health - and schools and communities may improve, too.
It's all up to you and us together!
This may be just what your family needs right now!
