The program, called Impactful Emotional Teaching (IET), has been implemented in two Rialto Unified School District elementary schools since August 2021, with plans for expansion to other schools inside and outside the district.

"As a professional boxer, I learned to control my emotions through the art of boxing," Harris said. "Learning how to relax under pressure, I take those same things I learned there and apply it to real life. I teach these kids who grew up in the same district as myself how to be in
charge of their emotions."
The program emphasizes self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decisionmaking, and relationship skills. Students write down their goals and areas they want to improve on, as well as their strengths and accomplishments. The program also includes group activities and games that require teamwork and constructive decisionmaking.
This week, the program covered bully awareness, with customized lesson plans that teach students how to handle bullying and not to be a bully themselves. "We teach kids that being a bully is not a form of love and that if you're bullying, that's not the right thing to do. We get to the root of why they are bullying, and it gets deep, and we get the kids to open up," Harris said. NSG cont. next pg.
