What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of being in the moment; not thinking ahead to the future or dwelling in the past. Mindfulness helps us stay in the current moment and appreciate our surroundings. Practicing mindfulness helps decrease stress and depression; while increasing our focus and decision making skills.

Caring Connections for Social, Emotional, Behavioral Health

A short pep talk from Kid Superintendent

From the SEBH Return-to-Learn Toolkit: Establishing Routines & Relationships

Maintaining and communicating predictable routines helps students to maintain a sense of psychological safety.
Do not assume that students understand your routine is changing due to current events.
Taking the time to explain the changes and providing a predictable agenda will reduce student stress.

Creating a Behavior Teaching Matrix for Remote Instruction

When transitioning education online, it can be helpful to remember that the practices that are used in a physical classroom can work just as well in the virtual classroom. The first step in setting up any classroom is to define expected behaviors, which can be done most effectively through a behavior teaching matrix.
