7 Mindsets Publishes New White Paper- eLearning Trade
ROSWELL, Ga. – March 31, 2021 – During the COVID-19 pandemic, social emotional learning (SEL) was vital to promoting student wellbeing and promoting their school success. In a new white paper, 7 Mindsets shows how K-12 districts can help teachers make an even bigger impact on their students’ social emotional wellbeing and school culture by addressing their own social emotional health first. The paper “Investing in the Social Emotional Wellbeing of Educators Promotes Student Success and Improves School Culture” is available to educators free of charge on the website.
“An important part of working with schools and districts this year is how tired teachers and staff are,” said Chelsea Buchanan, 7 Mindset’s director of education. “Teachers are concerned and anxious and feel many of the same feelings that their students feel. However, teachers are not always able to identify their own weaknesses. Your brain is wired to think about its students’ needs that it makes them a little uncomfortable to talk about what they need. “
The white paper shares research and findings from educators and discusses the importance and value of SEL for students and teachers. It examines how promoting the well-being and mental health of teachers reduces stress and work-related anxiety. Lessons are also shared from school districts that make it a priority for teachers to invest in their own social emotional health.
“The COVID pandemic is a catalyst that allowed administrators to see the importance of teachers’ social emotional health,” Buchanan said. “When districts plan to invest in teacher SEL, they can better support teacher wellbeing. Not only does this help teachers feel happy and safe, but it also promotes a healthy school environment that caters to the needs of all learners. “
