Welcome to a new season of the SECD lab On Demand! Podcast. In Season 3, “Connections to SEL,” we’ll show you how social and emotional learning shows up inside and outside of standard classroom curriculum. Join us as we introduce you to a new group of SEL teachers, parents, students, and experts.

In this episode, we are joined by Chi Kim of Pure Edge Inc. and Sanaa Rangwala of Rutgers University. With SEL Day 2023 upon us, we are thrilled to offer you this powerful episode exhibiting the expansive world of social and emotional learning. Chi shares her expertise in the world and science of mindfulness as a central component of SEL. She explains how mindfulness in the classroom promotes learning and an atmosphere of ease. She takes us through exercises and explains how mindfulness practice is better described as an invitation. We warmly invite you to listen and benefit from Chi’s multi-faceted world of SEL.
