Joyce leads the learning programs for younger students at LearnLife. They begin each day with Real Talk, a learning session dedicated to social emotional learning. Joyce places a strong emphasis on student wellbeing and project-based learning. She is encouraged by the positive impact for the learning community of a school approach that reduces academic pressure and trauma. She witnesses this impact in individual cases like the transformation of a child who had school anxiety and thrived as she moved to LearnLife’s more supportive learning atmosphere. Joyce’s teaching role is more fulfilling and motivating than any of her previous teaching experiences.

“We take away the pressure of school. And so just watching that (academic) pressure kind of dissolve around kids who have felt it for so long. Is pretty incredible in terms of how we take care of their wellbeing.”
