Our School Goal: 2024/2025 – Focusing on Mindful Teaching & Learning
What Does being Mindful look like at EB?
This year we are focusing on a Social Emotional Learning Goal and we are using the MindUp program to support our teaching & learning. Our inquiry question is: How will intentionally teaching self-regulation strategies help students manage their emotions to better succeed academically and socially?
- We learn about resilience. Here is a video to check out and discuss: Resilience Video. Resilience is built by facing difficult emotions, knowing it’s okay to feel upset, and trusting you’ll feel better. We are discussing these words daily in class.
- We continue to practice being mindful, noticing how our actions affect others and the classroom. We are focused on making principled choices, doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
- Each day, we emphasize that kindness is a choice and that while it isn’t easy, it’s a choice we can make.
I hope reinforcing this message at home daily and at school will have a positive impact to create a supportive environment between peers, and students with adults.
Some What does self-regulation look like? – How will this correlation show up academically & socially? – Are we targeting specific emotions? – Look at a small sample group but teach to all – Confidence & consistency with administration on MindUp strategies matters – What does self regulation look like for the adults in the building/for caregivers?
