About the Artist
While teaching at a YMCA preschool, Rick learned the importance and power of social-emotional learning. Rick earned his professional engineering license, but decided that teaching social skills was more important to him than designing HVAC systems.
Teaching Philosophy
Self-expression and self-awareness are essential life skills. By practicing the tactics they learn in Rick's assemblies, students become better communicators and better able to handle life's challenges.
Testimonial
"The Bohemian Rhapsody of assemblies: the energy ramps up & down beautifully!"
- Mara Preibe, Dakota Assemblies
Program Description
This high-energy assembly uses games, humorous stories, and songs to teach students how to identify emotions and be better communicators. Participants will become better classmates by learning how to *respond* to their emotions, instead of *reacting* to them. "Don't get mad, get RAD!" not only inspires, but gives kids specific tools to combat bullying.
We highly recommend that schools split their students into two performances. Performances are 30 minutes for K-2 and 50 minutes for 3-5.
