The Mona Lisa Effect®

Like all the best ideas, #TheMonaLisaEffect® is both a revolutionary and a simple concept. Every single student has a fundamental right to an education which understands and meets all of their needs and strengths, keeping their #WellbeingFirst at all times. And, to achieve this, we need to know each student, inside out, However, the many and conflicting demands we place on young people today incentivise inauthenticity and make it harder than ever before for them to #thrive and #belong in school. Therefore, our job is to identify and unearth the treasure that lies hidden within each and every child. Just like Lisa Gherardini looks directly at every single visitor to the Salle des États, we must ensure that every single student, without condition or exception, can be seen, be heard, be known and belong. At The Mona Lisa Effect, we encourage you to get your hands dirty, digging around in the soil of your school's data culture, such that it can become and remain warm and street, slow and kind. If you would like to know more, and join the 1000s of educators in 100s of schools in over 60 countries who have already engaged with this work, please get in touch.
