Bringing the ATL Skills to Life

Captains & Poets offers a groundbreaking methodology to bringing the IB’s Approaches to Learning (ATL) Skills to life with greater ease and sustainable impact on student performance. We focus on the skills that are harder to teach explicitly in the areas of social and affective skills development, and the ability to manage one’s own state of mind – critical competencies for student success in today’s world.

“When your Captain and Poet come together, it creates something truly beautiful.”

Self-Awareness | Connection | Inclusion & Belonging | Leadership

 Captains & Poets offers a simple language that enables students to be their best selves by elevating self-awareness, fostering connection with others, and accessing the leader within. 
 
The premise of this transformational program is that we each have a unique Captain and Poet inside that, in partnership, enable us to navigate the world around us in a way that enables us to thrive. 

Whether you are focused on elevating individual contribution, teamwork, or leadership capabilities; or enhancing well-being, inclusion & belonging, Captains & Poets is designed to align to school programming and ignite positive transformation from students themselves!

Our personalized IB Skills Assessment & Consultation is designed to help schools identify their greatest needs in addressing and embedding the IB’s ATL Skills into their curriculum.
