Author Description

The Mind Your Emotions SEL curriculum is designed to provide students in grades 3-5 the tools to achieve key developmental competencies, such as the ability to identify and express emotions and to establish and manage peer relationships and friendships with less support from adults. Our curriculum is the first of its kind as it combines elements of restorative justice, mindfulness, civic engagement, and social justice to cultivate social and emotional development amongst elementary-age students. By implementing our curriculum, educators and youth development professionals will be equipped with differentiated materials to assist students of all academic levels, including exceptional learners. Within the instructor’s guide, differentiated options are provided including auditory, kinesthetic, and visual options. Direct links are also included as alternative options for students who require access to modified versions of the curriculum to ensure this resource is accessible to all.
