WEBINAR: Using a Mindfulness-based Social Emotional Learning Program with K-2 Students, Teachers, and Parents in Chicago Public Schools
Tuesday, February 28
1:30pm-2:30pm
The Illinois ACEs Response Collaborative is pleased to present this exciting webinar illustrating ways to build resiliency within the educational system. Dr. Amanda Moreno and Erikson Institute doctoral student Kandace Thomas will present features of the Calm Classroom K-2 project, a large randomized controlled trial of mindfulness and related strategies taking place in 30 high-poverty Chicago Public Schools. They will focus on the innovative ways the project is attempting to broaden the accessibility of a mindful school culture, including the “Calm Spot” tablet app and parent engagement components. More information about the project can be found in the following article: Does Mindfulness Actually Work in Schools? Scholars want to know whether the practice helps young kids of color succeed academically.
