Create a Positive Learning Environment
As an educator, you may be curious about bringing meditation and mindfulness for schools into the classroom. In addition to your educator’s role, you are crucial in shaping your students’ mental and emotional well-being.
When children are anxious, stressed, struggling in class, or acting out, creating a classroom that fosters calm, safety, and a positive learning environment can be challenging.
Plus, you have to balance the demands of a busy school day with planning, class management, engaging the diverse needs of your students, and your personal self-care needs.
It can be tough.
A Practical Resource for Educators
For 2 decades, Connected Kids has brought meditation skills to young people. In 2024, we piloted a course through a school where we learned directly from educators, listening to their needs and understanding their unique professional and personal challenges.
In consultation with professionals in education, and working with the learnings of the pilot study, we created Connected Kids for Educators (CKE), a resource designed to meet the needs of those working in education especially those responsible for PSED (personal, social and emotional development).
We bring together our experience of the Connected Kids program to support the unique needs of the classroom environment.
