2025 Early College Summit

Consistent with Next Generation Early College principles to create an environment that supports the social and emotional learning of all students, this session will introduce participants to a framework for translating mindfulness into interactions with students in a manner that strengthens  school climate, creates meaningful connections with students, and assists students in managing stress and regulating emotions.  Practices will be drawn from the Be CALM program, developed in NC in partnership with several Early College High Schools, which is showing positive impact on both teachers and students.  Resources and opportunities for research-based involvement with the program will be shared.
