What We Actually Learned Implementing Mindfulness in Schools

Most mindfulness sessions tell you why it's good. This one tells you what happens when you actually try to implement it. After running mindfulness cohorts in schools in NYC and Texas across two years--we learned that the curriculum is the easy part. The hard part is adoption, sustainability, and what teachers actually need versus what we think they need. We'll share real data (MAAS scores, retention rates), honest failures, and the structural changes we made between school one and school two.

Flippers, Phenomena, and a Fully Released Curriculum: Making a Splash in Elementary Science

Set sail on a journey through the newly released full elementary OpenSciEd curriculum--where manatees glide, dolphins echolocate, and young learners tackle real-world phenomena with brilliance and curiosity. In this session, we'll dive into an instructional approach that supports all students in making sense of complex science ideas through coherent, phenomenon-driven storylines. Participants will experience a taste of a third-grade unit to figure out why living things live where they do --connecting you to the why and the how of 3-dimensional science teaching. Along the way, we'll explore key features of the curriculum through classroom video and surface how classroom agreements can foster inclusive and collaborative environments. We'll also unpack how purposeful classroom discussion helps students make sense of science, not just memorize it. Come ready to explore, reflect, and imagine what's possible when high-quality materials meet the brilliance of elementary learners. Limited space available.
