How do I know which level to use?
Erika’s Lighthouse offers three “levels” of programs, each with its own Plan & Implementation that districts, schools and educators can use to build shared values and vocabulary around mental health.
Three "Levels" of Classroom Education
Classroom Education is the foundation of student-facing understanding to recognize the signs & symptoms of depression, promote good mental health and encourage help-seeking.
The classroom programs from Erika's Lighthouse are geared towards various grade bands: Level I for grades 4-6, Level II for grades 5-9 and Level III for grades 8-12. It is up to the school or district to decide what program to use for specific grade levels or the specific topics they cover. We also offer guidance on Implementation Across Multiple Grades.
