Mindfulness for Academic Success: SEL Strategies with K-4 Resource Teacher Jen Kreitz

Want to know how mindfulness can enhance academic success? In this episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we chat with Jen Kreitz, a K-4 resource teacher and Educalme ambassador, about how to prioritize social-emotional learning (SEL) in the classroom.

Jen shares her journey from a Master’s in Education to specializing in Special Education and how focusing on SEL before literacy and numeracy creates a solid foundation for academic success. Learn how mindfulness tools can help your students thrive, how to respond when students are in the red zone, and how Jen integrates mindfulness into her work as a resource teacher.
