CARE

Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education (CARE) is a unique professional development and adult SEL program that offers teachers tools and resources for reducing stress, preventing burnout, enlivening teaching and helping students thrive socially, emotionally and academically. CARE has been studied in a series of rigorous studies in urban contexts examining the impacts of CARE on teacher, classroom, and student outcomes. Results showed CARE improved teacher well-being, emotion regulation, and mindfulness and the quality of classroom interactions. CARE also improved student engagement. Among students low in social skills, CARE improved reading competence 

We hypothesize that building teachers’ capacity with the CARE Program will:​

• Enhance teachers’ SEL skills and well-being

• Increase the quality of PATHS® curriculum implementation and classroom interactions

• Improve students’ SEL skills, engagement, motivation, and academic achievement
