Kikori's Community Building Model
Our curriculum is built on a research-based Community Building Model inspired by the stages of group development: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. Through this framework, educators guide students to build safe, connected spaces, practice collaboration and empathy, and grow into reflective, responsible leaders. This model lays the foundation for resilient classrooms where whole-child development is prioritized and community flourishes.
In this first stage, students are getting to know one another and learning how the group works. There's excitement and curiosity, but also a need for structure, safety, and clear expectations.
Forming
As comfort increases, differences in opinions, personalities, and behavior may surface. This stage involves navigating conflict, building emotional awareness, and developing trust through guided support.
Storming
The group begins to find its rhythm—students understand expectations, collaborate more easily, and start to feel a stronger sense of community and shared purpose.
Norming
Students work together confidently, support each other’s growth, and show leadership. The group functions with trust, cooperation, and a collective commitment to thriving together.
Performing
The Play-Reflect-Connect-Grow Process
Based on Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle, every activity follows a proven path:
Engaging in real-world, active experiences
Thinking deeply about what was learned and felt
Relating insights to personal and group experiences
Applying learning to future situations and challenges

Through a district-wide partnership with Kikori, LYSD has brought social-emotional learning (SEL) to life in a way that honors Yupik traditions, uplifts student voices, and fosters resilience. This is the story of how a rural district turned SEL into a pathway for healing, growth, and community revival.
At Griffin Memorial, “students thrive when they feel connected, supported, and known”. With a commitment to the Responsive Classroom approach, Griffin educators set out to create classrooms where students don’t just learn academic skills, but also build empathy, resilience, and community.
