We just had an outstanding inaugural Worldwide Student Support Services (SSS) Summit!  We had the incredible opportunity to work face to face with colleagues and other leaders to discuss our current status and where we are heading.  I must say, I think the future looks bright and positive!

In The Learning Accelerator's new podcast series, Beyond Brick and Mortar, hear from leaders of established virtual and hybrid learning programs from across the U.S. about what makes their programs a success – and what they had to learn along the way.

In this episode, we chat with Rachel Babcock, Co-Director and Co-Founder of Map Academy, about their holistic and student-centered approach to education, designed to address the unique needs and life circumstances of students as an alternative high school. Their model weaves together collaborative and cooperative learning, student data, support structures, and crucial programs that help them develop their postsecondary and career readiness in order to attend to myriad aspects of their students’ learning experiences. 

Happy Day, Friend! 

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing four (4) myths about teaching kids mindfulness. There have been quite a few of them over the decade I’ve been doing this work, but I boiled it down to the top four. 

In knowing these myths, you can anticipate other people sharing them, and feel more confident in educating them about mindful-based social-emotional learning and educating the whole child. 

These myths might pop up in casual conversations with friends, parents, and teachers or they may come up when you’re giving a seminar, speech, or professional development series about kids and mindfulness. 

In any case, you’ll be ready to debunk them and appropriately educate others. 

I hope you gain tons of value from the episode. If so, please share with your people.
