Mission & Benefits
The mission of Urban Essentials 101 is to improve academic success in Urban Poverty Schools by establishing, aligning, and implementing the fundamental components necessary to produce a safe, relationship-rich culture of scholastic achievement.
Urban Essentials 101 is a comprehensive program designed to facilitate achievement in urban underperforming schools. The program focuses on a systematic, school-wide, relationship-building program at the foundational level. We believe that academic achievement is a natural byproduct of a healthy, relationship-rich environment — in other words, there is a correlation between safety, authentic relationships, and academic success, and when approached from an interdependent perspective the probability of reaching success dramatically increases. The program is also cost neutral, with the potential for cost savings through increased average daily attendance.
The number one complaint that we hear from urban poverty school educators is how they feel boxed in, unfairly blamed, and targeted for the lack of student success. In order to move beyond the current perspective, a more suitable alternative is needed. Urban Essentials 101 addresses this concern, and assists in the building of that alternative.
We help build structures that are conducive to a clear, reciprocating exchange, which ultimately leads to the empowerment of all colleagues. By giving you the tools to create a relaxed and respected environment the academic world can be viewed from a new perspective.
The implementation of UE101 does not require additional staff or equipment. An existing school can simply adjust the job responsibilities of staff members to realize the benefits of the UE101 approach.
