DESIGNED FOR THE CLASSROOM, ALL IN SHOWCASES STUDENT PERSPECTIVES.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 25, 2024 — Jostens Renaissance® Education announces a new character and wellness video series called All In. In each episode, host Gian Paul Gonzalez and students from across the country navigate real-world topics that are integral to character development and emotional wellness.
The series encourages students to go the extra mile in all aspects of life, whether it's building strong relationships, excelling in academics or pursuing personal goals. By focusing on small, consistent actions, All In empowers students to achieve lasting success.
"We’re excited to release the next season of character development videos. All In directly addresses the needs of educators and students by presenting thought-provoking themes in an uplifting and relatable way,” states Michael Wolf, Jostens VP of School Culture and Events. “Gian Paul is the perfect partner for this project. Through his experience as an athlete, a ninth grade history teacher and team chaplain for the New York Giants, he's able to share thoughtful and engaging stories from his life.” Gian Paul shares inspiration and lessons he has learned from his personal journey working with his own students, professional athletes and prison populations.
Each episode features authentic peer-to-peer conversations, captured and recorded by students themselves. This unique approach showcases a variety of viewpoints and experiences, enriching the content for viewers in middle and high school. Commitment, resilience and empathy are just a few of the topics explored throughout the series.
Gonzalez shares, “I believe educators will find this series to be a powerful conversation starter on topics that matter to students. These are topics that don’t often get talked about in the classroom — even though they impact it. I’m honored to share my insights in the episodes, but what makes this series extra special is the students sharing their diverse perspectives and experiences.” Similar to The Harbor™ by Jostens®, each video includes a discussion guide that facilitates and encourages meaningful classroom conversations.
